Journal ArticleDOI
A new set of chemotaxis homologues is essential for Myxococcus xanthus social motility
TL;DR: Genetic analysis and phenotypical characterization indicate that the M. xanthus dif locus is required for social (S) motility, the first report of a M.Xanthus chemotaxis‐like signal transduction pathway that could regulate or co‐ordinate the movement of M. Xanthus cells to bring about S motility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemotaxis in Borrelia burgdorferi
TL;DR: The study shows that the frequency and duration for pausing of flagella are important for chemotaxis of B. burgdorferi and this organism required an environment similar to interstitial fluid to exhibit motility.
Journal ArticleDOI
A DnaK Homolog in Myxococcus xanthus Is Involved in Social Motility and Fruiting Body Formation
TL;DR: The defects of the mutants indicate that this DnaK homolog is important for the social motility and development of M. xanthus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylation of FrzCD Defines a Discrete Step in the Developmental Program of Myxococcus xanthus
TL;DR: It is indicated that FrzCD methylation defines a discrete step in the development of M. xanthus and that social motility mutants are not blocked in these early developmental steps.
