Abstract: | The espC null mutation caused accelerated aggregation and formation of tiny fruiting bodies surrounded by spores, which were also observed in the espA mutant and in CsgA-overproducing cells in Myxococcus xanthus. In addition, the espC mutant appeared to produce larger amounts of the complementary C-signal than the wild-type strain. These findings suggest that EspC is involved in controlling the timing of fruiting body development in M. xanthus. |
