Defects in fruiting body development caused by Tn5 lac insertions in Myxococcus xanthus.

摘要: Mutations caused by insertions of Tn5 lac that block development are rare. At least six the eight mutations examined appeared to be regulatory. Three these were found disrupt social motility, suggesting a particular importance for this function. One other occurred in known cell-cell interaction gene, bsgA, and remaining two located genes operative early developmental program. Images
