Behavioral analysis of single cells of Myxococcus xanthus in response to prey cells of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Although Lentinula edodes is the second most important cultivated mushroom worldwide, most industrially cultivated strains have been identified only through traditional phenotypic analysis. Here, we report for the first time the use of sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers for strain differentiation. ...
