Cell interactions in myxobacterial growth and development.

M Dworkin, D Kaiser

    Science (New York, N.Y.)
    |October 4, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Myxobacteria exhibit complex cell interactions during their life cycle, involving both direct contact and secreted signals. Molecular and genetic tools are now available to study these interactions in Myxococcus xanthus.
