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 ...

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.

Genomic insights into novel predatory myxobacteria isolated from human feces [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumMyxobacteria are Gram-negative, spore-forming predatory bacteria isolated from diverse environmental samples that feed on other microbes for their survival and growth. However, no reports of cultured representatives from the human gut have been published

Evidence for the intense exchange of MazG in marine cyanophages by horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
, 2008 Background: S-PM2 is a phage capable of infecting strains of unicellular cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Synechococcus. S-PM2, like other myoviruses infecting marine cyanobacteria, encodes a number of bacterial-like genes. Amongst these genes is one

New Deoxyenhygrolides from Plesiocystis pacifica Provide Insights into Butenolide Core Biosynthesis
Marine Drugs, 2022 Marine myxobacteria present a virtually unexploited reservoir for the discovery of natural products with diverse biological functions and novel chemical scaffolds. We report here the isolation and structure elucidation of eight new deoxyenhygrolides (1–8)

Identification of a solo acylhomoserine lactone synthase from the myxobacterium Archangium gephyra
Scientific Reports, 2021 Considered a key taxon in soil and marine microbial communities, myxobacteria exist as coordinated swarms that utilize a combination of lytic enzymes and specialized metabolites to facilitate predation of microbes.

On the mysterious propulsion of Synechococcus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We propose a model for the self-propulsion of the marine bacterium Synechococcus utilizing a continuous looped helical track analogous to that found in Myxobacteria [1].
