The two motility systems of Myxococcus xanthus show different selective advantages on various surfaces.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Apr 1993

Shi W, Zusman D R

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus, a bacterium that forms fruiting bodies, moves by gliding motility utilizing dual motility systems that differ both genetically and morphologically [system A, having at least 21 genetic loci and moving mainly single cells, and system S, having at least 10 genetic loci and movin...
