Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium that undergoes multicellular development requiring
coordinate regulation of multiple signaling pathways. One pathway governs aggregation …

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium that undergoes multicellular
development upon nutrient limitation. Intercellular signals control cell movements and …

Myxococcus xanthus undergoes a starvation-induced multicellular developmental program
during which cells partition into three known fates:(i) aggregation into fruiting bodies …

Upon starvation, a dense population of rod-shaped Myxococcus xanthus bacteria coordinate
their movements to construct mounds in which some of the cells differentiate to spherical …

Background Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium that undergoes multicellular development
when starved. Cells move to aggregation centers and form fruiting bodies in which cells …

MrpC, a member of the CRP/Fnr superfamily of transcriptional regulators, plays a key role in
coordination of the multicellular developmental program in Myxococcus xanthus. Previous …

Starvation causes cells in a dense population of Myxococcus xanthus to change their gliding
movements and construct mounds. Short-range C-signaling between rod-shaped cells …

The developmental process of Myxococcus xanthus is achieved by the expression of a
specific set of genes under the influence of developmental signals. MrpC is a member of the …

In prokaryotes, the toxin-antitoxin systems are thought to play important roles in growth
regulation under stress conditions. In the E. coli MazE-MazF system, MazF toxin functions as …

Myxococcus xanthus is an environmental bacterium that displays a complex life cycle that
includes motility, predation, multicellular fruiting body development, and sporulation. Given …
