Using a phase-locked mutant of Myxococcus xanthus to study the role of phase variation in development.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1995

Laue B E, Gill R E

Abstract excerpt

The bacterium Myxococcus xanthus undergoes a primitive developmental cycle in response to nutrient deprivation. The cells aggregate to form fruiting bodies in which a portion of the cells differentiate into environmentally resistant myxospores. During the growth portion of the M. xanthus life cycle, the organism also undergoes a phase variation, in which cells alternate between yellow and tan colony-forming...
