Self-recognition underlies sociality in many group-living organisms. In bacteria, cells use various strategies to recognize kin to form social groups and, in some cases, to transition into multicellular life. One strategy relies on a single genetic locus

Persistent tissue-specific resident microbiota in oysters across a broad geographical range. [PDF]
Wild eastern oysters along the US East Coast harbour unique, tissue‐specific microbial communities that are distinct from the surrounding seawater and sediment microbiomes. These resident microbes persist across different geographic locations, underscoring the oyster's role in selecting its microbiome.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Fruiting Body Formation in Myxococcales [PDF]
Genetic programs underlying multicellular morphogenesis and cellular differentiation are most often associated with eukaryotic organisms, but examples also exist in bacteria such as the formation of multicellular, spore-filled fruiting bodies in the order Myxococcales.

Strain FAc12, a dissimilatory iron-reducing member of the Anaeromyxobacter subgroup of Myxococcales [PDF]
Dissimilatory iron reduction is of quantitative importance during anaerobic degradation of organic matter in flooded rice field soils. To isolate dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms from rice soil, enrichments were carried out with acetate and ferrihydrite. One of these resulted in the isolation of strain FAc12.

Medicago truncatula genotype drives the plant nutritional strategy and its associated rhizosphere bacterial communities. [PDF]
Summary Harnessing the plant microbiome through plant genetics is of increasing interest to those seeking to improve plant nutrition and health. While genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted to identify plant genes driving the plant microbiome, more multidisciplinary studies are required to assess the relationships among plant ...

Myxobacteria as a Source of New Bioactive Compounds: A Perspective Study
Myxobacteria are unicellular, Gram-negative, soil-dwelling, gliding bacteria that belong to class δ-proteobacteria and order Myxococcales. They grow and proliferate by transverse fission under normal conditions, but form fruiting bodies which contain ...
