Microcyst germination in Myxococcus xanthus.

Germination of glycerol-prepared microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus was studied. The sequence of morphological events during germination resembled that of germinating fruiting body-microcysts. The turbidity drop of a culture of germinating microcysts could be described by McCormick's formula derived for germinating Bacillus spores. The rate of uptake of labeled glycine and acetate did not change ...

Vegetative Cells and Microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus

A number of reports have demonstrated that microcysts, the resting cells produced by most myxobacteria, are more resistant than the corresponding vegetative cells. Baur (1) showed that mycrocysts of Myxococcus ruber withstood desiccation and wet and dry heat better than did vegetative cells. In 1936, Imshenetsky and Solnetzewa (6) reported comparable findings for Cytophaga hutchinsonil and C. e...

Comparative intermediary metabolism of vegetative cells and microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus.

Crude extracts of both vegetative cells and glycerol-induced microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus contained the following enzyme activities: phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, fructosediphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinat...

Glycine betaine biosynthesized from glycine provides an osmolyte for cell growth and spore germination during osmotic stress in Myxococcus xanthus.

Glycine sarcosine methyltransferase (Gsm) and sarcosine dimethylglycine methyltransferase (Sdm) catalyze glycine betaine synthesis from glycine. Disruption of the M. xanthus gsmA (MXAN 7068) or sdmA (MXAN 3190) gene, encoding Gsm or Sdm homologue proteins, respectively, generated mutants that exhibited a longer lag period of growth and delayed spore germination under osmostress.

An adenylyl cyclase, CyaA, of Myxococcus xanthus functions in signal transduction during osmotic stress.

An adenylyl cyclase gene (cyaA) present upstream of an osmosensor protein gene (mokA) was isolated from Myxococcus xanthus. cyaA encoded a polypeptide of 843 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 91,187 Da. The predicted cyaA gene product had structural similarity to the receptor-type adenylyl cyclases that are composed of an amino-terminal sensor domain and a carboxy-terminal catalyti...
