Predatory Myxobacteria employ a multilayered predation strategy to kill and lyse soil microorganisms. Aiming to dissect the mechanism of contact-dependent killing of bacteria, we analyze four protein secretion systems in Myxococcus xanthus and invest

Myxococcus xanthus Social (S) motility occurs at high cell densities and is powered by the extension and retraction of Type IV pili which bind ligands normally found in matrix exopolysaccharides (EPS). Previous studies showed that FrzS, a protein req

Summary The social soil bacterium, Myxococcus xanthus, displays a variety of complex and highly coordinated behaviours, including social motility, predatory rippling and fruiting body formation. Here we show that M. xanthus cells produce a network of

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
