Abstract

Myxobacteria exhibit multicellular swarming behavior, which depends on the coordination of cell motility. Unlike other myxobacteria, Myxococcus xanthus NM is not capable of forming swarms due to a defective motility system. Here, we present the 9.35-Mbp genome sequence of this nonmotile myxobacterium.
