The strategy of Myxococcus xanthus for group cooperative behavior.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek - 1 May 1998

Koch A L

Abstract excerpt

New evidence has been presented from our laboratory that the gliding bacterium, Myxococcus xanthus, does not home by chemotaxis toward a nutrient source. Our experiments, those of others, and the theory presented here combine to suggest a model, called the 'Pied Piper' model. It hypothesizes a gene that has a high mutation rate forward and back (say something in excess 10(-4) mutations per cell generation) which...
