A DnaK homolog in Myxococcus xanthus is involved in social motility and fruiting body formation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1998

Yang Z, Geng Y, Shi W

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium which exhibits a complex life cycle and social behavior. In this study, two developmental mutants of M. xanthus were isolated through Tn5 transposon mutagenesis. The mutants were found to be defective in cellular aggregation as well as in sporulation. Further phenotypic characterization indicated that the mutants were defective in social motility but normal in...
