Marine Myxobacteria: A Few Good Halophiles [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 Currently considered an excellent candidate source of novel chemical diversity, the existence of marine myxobacteria was in question less than 20 years ago.

Metabolic and Biosynthetic Diversity in Marine Myxobacteria [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 Prior to 2005, the vast majority of characterized myxobacteria were obtained from terrestrial habitats. Since then, several species of halotolerant and even obligate marine myxobacteria have been described.

Marine Myxobacteria as a Source of Antibiotics—Comparison of Physiology, Polyketide-Type Genes and Antibiotic Production of Three New Isolates of Enhygromyxa salina [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 Three myxobacterial strains, designated SWB004, SWB005 and SWB006, were obtained from beach sand samples from the Pacific Ocean and the North Sea. The strains were cultivated in salt water containing media and subjected to studies to determine their ...

Functional identification of rubber oxygenase (RoxA) in soil and marine myxobacteria. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2013 ABSTRACT The rubber oxygenase (RoxA) of Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y (RoxA Xsp ) is so far the only known extracellular c -type diheme cytochrome that is able to cleave poly( cis -1,4-isoprene).

Analysis of the Genome and Metabolome of Marine Myxobacteria Reveals High Potential for Biosynthesis of Novel Specialized Metabolites. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractComparative genomic/metabolomic analysis is a powerful tool to disclose the potential of microbes for the biosynthesis of novel specialized metabolites. In the group of marine myxobacteria only a limited number of isolated species and sequenced genomes is so far available.

Biogeography and phylogenetic diversity of a cluster of exclusively marine myxobacteria. [PDF]
ISME J, 2012 AbstractMyxobacteria are common in terrestrial habitats and well known for their formation of fruiting bodies and production of secondary metabolites. We studied a cluster of myxobacteria consisting only of sequences of marine origin (marine myxobacteria cluster, MMC) in sediments of the North Sea.

Marine-derived myxobacteria of the suborder Nannocystineae: An underexplored source of structurally intriguing and biologically active metabolites [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2016 Myxobacteria are famous for their ability to produce most intriguing secondary metabolites. Till recently, only terrestrial myxobacteria were in the focus of research.

Isolation of myxobacteria from the marine environment [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998 In an attempt to isolate indigenous marine myxobacteria from coastal samples, we obtained two swarm forming bacteria. Both isolates formed cell aggregates which, at least in one isolate, developed to fruiting body-like structures consisting of a mass of myxospore-like cells.

A Study of Two Marine Agar-Decomposing, Facultatively Anaerobic Myxobacteria [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1961 SUMMARY: Two facultatively anaerobic agar-decomposing myxobacteria were isolated from marine mud and described as Cytophaga fermentans Bachmann var. agarovorans var. nov. and C. salmonicolor var. agarovorans var. nov. A third organism which does not attack agar was isolated from the same source; it has been included in the present study for comparative

Phylogeographic separation of marine and soil myxobacteria at high levels of classification [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2010 Abstract Microorganisms are globally dispersed and are able to proliferate in any habitat that supports their lifestyles, which, however, has not yet been explored in any specific microbial taxon. The social myxobacteria are considered typical soil bacteria because they have been identified in various terrestrial samples, a few in ...
