Isolated fibrils rescue cohesion and development in the Dsp mutant of Myxococcus xanthus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1994

Chang B Y, Dworkin M

Abstract excerpt

Extracellular fibrils are involved in cell cohesion and cell development in Myxococcus xanthus. One group of social motility mutants, Dsp, is unable to produce extracellular fibrils; these mutants also lose the abilities to cohere and to develop. Extracellular fibrils isolated from vegetative wil...
