The mts locus in salt-tolerant Myxococcus fulvus HW-1 was found to be critical for gliding motility, fruiting-body formation, and sporulation. The homologous genes in Myxococcus xanthus are also important for social motility and fruiting-body development. The mts genes were determined to be involved in cell-cell cohesion in both myxobacterial species.
耐盐fulvus HW-1黏球菌中的mts基因座被发现对滑行运动、子实体形成和孢子形成至关重要。黄色黏球菌中的同源基因对群体运动和子实体发育也很重要。已确定mts基因在这两种黏细菌中都参与细胞间黏附。
