Acceleration of starvation- and glycerol-induced myxospore formation by prior heat shock in Myxococcus xanthus.

abstract：:Flavobacterium johnsoniae cells glide rapidly over surfaces by an unknown mechanism. Transposon-induced sprA mutants formed nonspreading colonies on agar, and the cells examined in wet mounts were deficient in attachment to surfaces and were almost completely nonmotile. Exposure of intact cells to proteinase K cleaved...
