TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the model Sorangium strain S. cellulosum So ce56 is reported, which produces several natural products and has morphological and physiological properties typical of the genus, and the circular genome is the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predatory activity of Myxococcus xanthus outer-membrane vesicles and properties of their hydrolase cargo
Alun Evans,Hazel M. Davey,Alan Cookson,Heather Currinn,Gillian Cooke-Fox,Paulina J Stanczyk,David E. Whitworth +6 more
TL;DR: The observed regulation of production, and fragility of OMV activity, may protect OMV-producing cells from exploitation by M. xanthus cheating genotypes and/or other competitors, and may modulate the fusion of co-secreted OMVs with prey organisms in nature, enhancing their predatory activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
P2CS: updates of the prokaryotic two-component systems database
TL;DR: P2CS now provides paired HK and RR trees with proteins from the same genetic locus indicated, allowing the appraisal of evolutionary relationships across entire TCSs and in some cases the identification of candidate partners for orphan TCS proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus: functional characterization of the ECF sigma factor CarQ and antisigma factor CarR.
TL;DR: In this article, the activation of the light-inducible promoter, PcarQRS, and the transcription of three downstream genes, carQ, carR and carS, was investigated.
