Diffusible fruiting factor in Myxococcus coralloides and Myxococcus fulvus

Myxococcus coralloides ATCC 25202 and Myxococcus fulvus ATCC 23093 produced an extracellular diffusible factor during fruiting body formation. This factor acted to shorten the lag time before the appearance of aggregates and to increase the number of aggregates for both species. The factor from M. c...

Description
Summary:Myxococcus coralloides ATCC 25202 and Myxococcus fulvus ATCC 23093 produced an extracellular diffusible factor during fruiting body formation. This factor acted to shorten the lag time before the appearance of aggregates and to increase the number of aggregates for both species. The factor from M. coralloides presented a more selective activity on the aggregation of this species.
