Bivariate One Strain Many Compounds Designs Expand the Secondary Metabolite Production Space in Corallococcus coralloides

Microorganisms, 2023
The scarcely investigated myxobacterium Corallococcus coralloides holds a large genome containing many uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that potentially encode the synthesis of entirely new natural products. Despite its promising genomic

Biocontrol Potential of Fungal and Oomycete Phytopathogens by Myxobacterial Strains

Applied Microbiology
Myxobacteria, a group of swarming, predatory soil bacteria, are of interest because of their biocontrol potential. In this study, the inhibitory effects of 13 strains of myxobacteria were examined against four different phytopathogenic fungi, as follows:

Cell behaviors underlying Myxococcus xanthus aggregate dispersal

mSystems, 2023
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.

Isolation and identification of myxobacteria from saline-alkaline soils in Xinjiang, China.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Fifty-eight terrestrial and salt-tolerant myxobacteria were isolated from the saline-alkaline soils collected from Xinjiang, China. Based on the morphologies and the 16S rRNA gene sequences, these isolates were assigned into 6 genera, Myxococcus ...

Biogeographic patterns reveal the extensive adaptation of forest soil myxobacteria along environmental gradients

Ecological Indicators
Microbial responses to environmental gradients are often evaluated at community level, where bacterial communities are treated as a metaorganism. Considering that tolerance to physicochemical factors is an attribute of microbial lineages and functional ...
