Journal ArticleDOI

A collection of strains containing genetically linked alternating antibiotic resistance elements for genetic mapping of Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: A collection of 182 isogenic strains containing genetically linked antibiotic resistance elements located at approximately 1-min intervals around the Escherichia coli chromosome, designed to be used in a rapid two-step mapping system in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

The guanosine nucleotide (p)ppGpp initiates development and A-factor production in Myxococcus xanthus

TL;DR: A model in which accumulation of (p)ppGpp, in response to starvation, initiates the program of fruiting body development, including the production of A-factor, is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ectopic production of guanosine penta- and tetraphosphate can initiate early developmental gene expression in Myxococcus xanthus.

TL;DR: The results suggest that M. xanthus cells can assess their nutritional status by monitoring the internal availability of amino acids through (p)ppGpp levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Additional Players in the Alternative Biosynthesis Pathway to Isovaleryl‐CoA in the Myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus

TL;DR: It is shown that the proteins required for leucine degradation are also involved in the alternative IV‐CoA biosynthesis pathway through the efficient catalysis of the reverse reactions.
