The chromosomal acetylornithine deacetylase (argE) gene of Myxococcus xanthus was identified via homology to acetylornithine deacetylases from other bacterial species. A mutant carrying a disruption in argE was unable to grow on minimal media lacking supplemental arginine and formed fruiting bodies and spores in response to arginine starvation at high cell density.
通过与其他细菌物种的乙酰鸟氨酸脱乙酰酶的同源性,鉴定出了黄色粘球菌的染色体乙酰鸟氨酸脱乙酰酶(argE)基因。携带argE基因破坏突变的菌株在缺乏补充精氨酸的基本培养基上无法生长,并且在高细胞密度下,响应精氨酸饥饿时会形成子实体和孢子。
