Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterial micro-predator known for hunting other microbes in a wolf pack-like manner. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are produced in large quantities by M. xanthus and have a highly organized structure in the extracellular mil

International audience; MreB is a bacterial actin that is important for cell shape and cell wall biosynthesis in many bacterial species. MreB also plays crucial roles in Myxococcus xanthus gliding motility, but the underlying mechanism remains unknow

Novel mechanisms power bacterial gliding motility

For many bacteria, motility is essential for survival, growth, virulence, biofilm formation and intra/interspecies interactions. Since natural environments differ, bacteria have evolved remarkable motility systems to adapt, including swimming in aque

The Frz pathway of Myxococcus xanthus controls cell reversal frequency to support directional motility during swarming and fruiting body formation. Previously, we showed that phosphorylation of the response regulator FrzZ correlates with reversal fre

Chemosensory signaling controls motility and subcellular polarity in Myxococcus xanthus

Autor: David R. Zusman, Christine Kaimer, James E. Berleman

Publikováno v: Current Opinion in Microbiology. 15:751-757

Myxococcus xanthus is a model system for the study of dynamic protein localization and cell polarity in bacteria. M. xanthus cells are motile on solid surfaces enabled by two forms of gliding motility. Motility is controlled by the Che-like Frz pathw
