Abnormal motility and fruiting behavior of Myxococcus xanthus bacteriophage-resistant strains induced by a clear-plaque mutant of bacteriophage Mx8.

Abstract:

:Myxococcus xanthus mutants resistant to a clear-plaque derivative of phage Mx8 were isolated. A significant fraction of the mutants, easily recognizable by their colony morphology, were induced by the presence of the phage and may correspond to low-frequency lysogens. They were all defective in cell motility and showed the same nonfruiting phenotype under starvation conditions.
