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

A kinetic model and scaling properties for non-equilibrium clustering of self-propelled particles [PDF]
, 2013 We demonstrate that the clustering statistics and the corresponding phase transition to non-equilibrium clustering found in many experiments and simulation studies with self-propelled particles (SPPs) with alignment can be obtained from a simple kinetic ...

Dissipative Shocks behind Bacteria Gliding
, 2014 Gliding is a means of locomotion on rigid substrates utilized by a number of bacteria includingmyxobacteria and cyanobacteria. One of the hypotheses advanced to explain this motility mechanism hinges on the role played by the slime filaments continuously
