Symbiosis between Myxobacteria and Nitrifying Bacteria
Nature, 1946IN studying the biology of myxobacteria I have arrived at the conclusion that this group of micro-organisms is much more widely spread in Nature than it is commonly considered. The morphology and systematics of myxobacteria are little known to the wider circle of microbiologists, and their role in the circulation of substances in Nature has not been ...

Lingering Puzzles about Myxobacteria
Microbe Magazine, 2007The myxobacteria are social and capable of constructing intricate macroscopic structures called fruiting bodies. First recognized as bacteria in 1892 by the cryptogamic botanist Roland Thaxter, these exotic anomalies have proved challenging to microbiologists.

Secondary Metabolism in Myxobacteria
2014In the past 30 years myxobacteria have been established as proficient producers of various secondary metabolites and are regarded today as one of the few important sources for microbial natural products besides actinomycetes and fungi. Epothilone from Sorangium cellulosum recently successfully finished phase III clinical trials as an anticancer agent ...

1984
Myxobacteria offer the opportunity to investigate the multicellular state. For many years myxobacteria were mistaken for fungi because their fruiting bodies have a quite complex morphology (Thaxter 1892). Like other bacteria, myxobacteria can grow and divide as independent cells; they also behave as a primitive multicellular organism in which cells ...

Social Adaptations in Myxobacteria
1984Myxobacteria are unique amongst the procaryotes in displaying a wide range of social adaptations (Kaiser et al. 1979). They live in compact masses, grow better on polymeric substrates when in dense populations (Rosenberg et al. 1977), and collaborate in producing fruiting bodies.
