Two Lipid Signals Guide Fruiting Body Development of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Myxococcus xanthus</named-content>

ABSTRACT Myxococcus xanthus produces several extracellular signals that guide fruiting body morphogenesis and spore differentiation. Mutants defective in producing a signal may be rescued by codevelopment with wild-type cells or cell fractions containing the signal. In this paper, we identify two mo...
