Cell behaviors underlying Myxococcus xanthus aggregate dispersal

ABSTRACT The soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus is a model organism with a set of diverse behaviors. These behaviors include the starvation-induced multicellular development program, in which cells move collectively to assemble multicellular aggregates. After initial aggregates have formed, some will...
