Draft Genome Sequence of Myxococcus xanthus Wild-Type Strain DZ2, a Model Organism for Predation and Development [PDF]

, 2013
Myxococcus xanthus is a member of the Myxococcales order within the Deltaproteobacteria subdivision. The myxobacteria reside in soil, have relatively large genomes, and display complex life cycles.

Myxobacteria, Polarity, and Multicellular Morphogenesis [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010
Myxobacteria are renowned for the ability to sporulate within fruiting bodies whose shapes are species-specific. The capacity to build those multicellular structures arises from the ability of M. xanthus to organize high cell-density swarms, in which the cells tend to be aligned with each other while constantly in motion.

Marine-derived myxobacteria of the suborder Nannocystineae: An underexplored source of structurally intriguing and biologically active metabolites

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.

Future Directions of Marine Myxobacterial Natural Product Discovery Inferred from Metagenomics

Marine Drugs, 2018
Over the last two decades, halophilic (organisms that thrive at high salt concentrations) and halotolerant (organisms that have adapted to high salt concentrations) myxobacteria emerged as an important source of structurally diverse secondary metabolites

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:

Lattice gas cellular automata model for rippling and aggregation in myxobacteria

, 2004
A lattice-gas cellular automaton (LGCA) model is used to simulate rippling and aggregation in myxobacteria. An efficient way of representing cells of different cell size, shape and orientation is presented that may be easily extended to model later ...

Bioengineered Bacterial Vesicles and Biomimetic Hybrids Eliminate Biofilms and Balance the Gut Microbiome

Small, EarlyView.
Biomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

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.

Draft Genome Sequences of the Obligatory Marine Myxobacterial Strains Enhygromyxa salina SWB005 and SWB007 [PDF]

, 2018
The two marine myxobacterial strains Enhygromyxa salina SWB005 and SWB007 were isolated from coastal soil samples using Escherichia coli as bait for these predatory strains. These strains produce unique specialized metabolites.

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.
