TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of M. fulvus 124B02 consists of a circular chromosome with a total length of 11,048,835 bp and a circular plasmid of 18,634 bp, and Comparative genomic analyses suggest that pMF1 has a longstanding sustention within myxobacteria, and probably contributes to the genome expansion of myXobacteria.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report myxadazoles from Myxococcus sp. SDU36, a family of novel chimeric small molecules that consist of N-ribityl 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole and a linear fatty acid chain endowed with an isoxazole ring.

TL;DR: The results indicated that M. xanthus DK1622 cells coordinate expressions of the duplicate groEL and single groES genes for synergistic functions of GroELs and GroES, and a potential regulation mechanism for the expression coordination is proposed.

TL;DR: An unprecedented 19-membered allenic macrolide archangiumide was discovered from the myxobacterium Archangium violaceum SDU8 by integrating 2D NMR-based metabolic profiling and genome mining as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This study reported that the controlling inverted repeat of chaperone expression (CIRCE) element evolved for the transcriptional regulation of duplicate groELs, and constructed an in vivo transcription-regulation system in Escherichia coli to pair each of the regulators with a groEL promoter.
