Cell density regulates cellular reversal frequency in Myxococcus xanthus.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Apr 1996

Shi W, Ngok F K, Zusman D R

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram-negative bacterium that aggregates to form fruiting bodies when nutrients are limiting. Previous studies showed that the frz mutants that are defective in chemotaxis exhibited irregular and infrequent patterns of cellular reversal. In contrast, wild-type cells, when examined individually, reverse relatively frequently, about once every 6 min. It is not known how the change of reversal...
