• Bacillus subtilis Bactofilins Are Essential for Flagellar Hook- and Filament Assembly and Dynamically Localize into Structures of Less than 100 nm Diameter underneath the Cell Membrane

  Authors:Jihad El Andari, Florian Altegoer, Gert Bange, and Peter L. GraumannFrom:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Oct. 30, 20159,554 words Report 1550LBactofilins are a widely conserved protein family implicated in cell shape maintenance and in bacterial motility. We show that the bactofilins BacE and BacF from Bacillus subtilis are essential for motility. The...

• Culture-dependent and -independent methods revealed an abundant myxobacterial community shaped by other bacteria and pH in Dinghushan acidic soils

  Authors:Chunling Wang, Yingying Lv, Anzhang Li, Qing Yao, Guangda Feng, and Honghui ZhuFrom:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 9) Peer-Reviewed

  Sept. 14, 20205,189 words Report 1390LMyxobacteria are one of the most promising secondary metabolites producers. However, they are difficult to isolate and cultivate. To obtain more myxobacteria and know the effects of environmental factors on...

• INTERCELLULAR SIGNALING DURING FRUITING-BODY DEVELOPMENT OF MYXOCOCCUS XANTHUS

  Author:Lawrence J. ShimketsFrom:Annual Review of Microbiology (Vol. 53) Peer-Reviewed

  Annual 19998,895 words Article Department of Microbiology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 Key Words myxobacterium, fruiting body, cell-cell signaling * Abstract The myxobacterium Myxocaccus xanthus has a life cycle that is...

• Swarming predatorial bacteria

  From:Science Scope (Vol. 32, Issue 5) Peer-Reviewed

  Jan. 2009724 words Article 1500LLike something from a horror movie, the swarm of bacteria ripples purposefully toward their prey, devours it, and moves on. Researchers at the University of Iowa are studying this behavior in Myxococcus xanthus (M....

• Infectious polymorphic toxins delivered by outer membrane exchange discriminate kin in myxobacteria

  Authors:Christopher N Vassallo, Pengbo Cao, Austin Conklin, Hayley Finkelstein, Christopher S Hayes, and Daniel WallFrom:eLife (Vol. 6) Peer-Reviewed

  Aug. 18, 201721,367 words Report 1440LMyxobacteria are known for complex social behaviors including outer membrane exchange (OME), in which cells exchange large amounts of outer membrane lipids and proteins upon contact. The TraA cell surface receptor...

• Investigations on the mode of action of gephyronic acid, an inhibitor of eukaryotic protein translation from myxobacteria

  Authors:Yazh Muthukumar, Johanna Munkemer, Daniel Mathieu, Christian Richter, Harald Schwalbe, Heinrich Steinmetz, et al.From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 7) Peer-Reviewed

  July 31, 20185,354 words Report 1380LThe identification of inhibitors of eukaryotic protein biosynthesis, which are targeting single translation factors, is highly demanded. Here we report on a small molecule inhibitor, gephyronic acid, isolated from the...
