Abstract

McVittie, Anne (Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.), Frances Messik, and Stanley A. Zahler. Developmental biology of Myxococcus. J. Bacteriol. 84:546-551. 1962.-Methods for the growth and enumeration of strain FB of Myxococcus xanthus were investigated. Several mutants unable to form fruiting bodies were isolated. These fell into at least two classes. Members of each class acted synergistically with members of other classes to form fruiting bodies; intraclass synergism did not occur. Mechanisms for the loss of ability to form fruiting bodies, and for synergistic interaction, were studied.
