Abstract excerpt
The frz genes of Myxococcus xanthus constitute a signal-transduction pathway that processes chemotactic information in a manner analogous to that found in enteric bacteria. Ultimately, these genes regulate the frequency of individual cell reversal. We report here the identification of a novel com...
