How Myxobacteria Glide
BACKGROUND Many microorganisms, including myxobacteria, cyanobacteria, and flexibacteria, move by gliding. Although gliding always describes a slow surface-associated translocation in the direction of the cell's long axis, it can result from two very different propulsion mechanisms: social (S) motility and adventurous (A) motility. The force for S motility is generated by retraction of type 4 p...

Our species is routinely depicted as unique in its ability to achieve cooperation, whereas our closest relative, the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), is often characterized as overly competitive. Human cooperation is assisted by the cost attached to competitive tendencies through enforcement mechanisms, such as punishment and partner choice. To examine if chimpanzees possess the same ability to mi...
متن کاملLingering Puzzles about Myxobacteria
T he myxobacteria are social and capable of constructing intricate macroscopic structures called fruiting bodies. First recognized as bacteria in 1892 by the cryptogamic botanist Roland Thaxter, these exotic anomalies have proved challenging to microbiologists. Even so, we now know a great deal about the nutrition, life cycle, growth physiology, intermediary metabolism, structural chemistry, ge...
متن کاملBiomineralization induced by Myxobacteria
Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram negative, non-pathogenic, common soil bacterium that belongs to the δsubdivision of the Proteobacteria. According to the data, it is demonstrated that, depending on the chemistry of the culture media, M. xanthus is able to induce the formation of phosphates (struvite, schertelite, newberyite), carbonates (calcite, Mg-calcite, vaterite) and sulfates (barite, taylorit...
