Q
How are cell movements orchestrated in Myxococcus xanthus?
A
using C-signals (diacylglycerol molecule)
2
Q
How is kinship established in Myxococcus xanthus?
A
Recognition of cells with the same Tra alleles
If expressing the same TraA surface protein, it will interact with a carbohydrate receptor on the adjacent cell and their outer membranes can fuse, to exchange any outer membrane proteins and lipids
-allows fruiting body to form
