Behavioral analysis of single cells of Myxococcus xanthus in response to prey cells of Escherichia coli.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Apr 1996

McBride M J, Zusman D R

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus cells move over surfaces by gliding motility. The frz signal transduction system is used to control the reversal frequency, and thus the overall direction of movement of M. xanthus cells. We analyzed the behavior of wild-type and frz mutant cells in response to prey bacteria (Escherichia coli). Wild-type cells of M. xanthus did not respond to microcolonies of E. coli until they made physical...
