Abstract

The soil bacterium, Myxococcus xanthus initiates a developmental program when nutrients are limited. This results in the formation of a multicellular fruiting body structure filled with differentiated, environmentally resistant spores. At least four cell-cell signals, cell motility, and aggregation functions are required for the completion of fruiting body formation.

摘要

土壤细菌黄色粘球菌在营养物质有限时启动一个发育程序。这会导致形成一个充满分化的、具有环境抗性的孢子的多细胞子实体结构。子实体形成的完成至少需要四种细胞间信号、细胞运动性和聚集功能。
