Biosynthesis of Nucleotide Sugar Monomers for Exopolysaccharide Production in Myxococcus Xanthus
… rhamnose (GDP- and TDP-rhamnose) affected fruiting body formation (GDP form only) and dye binding ability (both forms) but not S motility. Disruptions of the xylose, mannose, and glucose pathways caused M. xanthus to lose S motility, fruiting body formation, and dye binding abilities. An …

Using Deep Learning to Extract Multicellular Aggregation Features of Myxococcus xanthus
… xanthus, known for its intricate aggregation and fruiting body formation under nutrient deprivation, offers a powerful model for studying these dynamics. This thesis addresses both methodological and analytical challenges in studying M. xanthus development. To overcome the limitations of …

<i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> Protein Kinase C-orthologue <i>pkcA</i> Regulates the Actin Cytoskeleton through Interaction with Phospholipase D and p21-activated Kinase
… signaling events. This results in chemotaxis and formation of a multicellular aggregate, and ultimately cell differentiation and the formation of a fruiting body. pkcA, a putative Protein Kinase C-orthologue, has previously been shown to regulate development and fruiting body formation. Here we …

Developing a New Mechanical Model for Swarm Development in Myxococcus xanthus & Establishing a Genotype-to-Phenotype Correlation Between Swarm Pattern Formation and Gene Homology
… displayed by all living systems, from biofilm formation and wound healing to embryogenesis. Myxococcus xanthus is a soil bacterium used as a model organism to study biofilm self-organization. It has a relatively large genome and a complex life cycle that involves two distinct phases. M. xanthus …

Role of the Nla6S and Nla28S histidine kinases in fruiting body development of <i>Myxococcus xanthus</i>
… and forms multicellular structures known as fruiting bodies. Two component signal transduction systems (TCS) are widely used by bacteria to detect and respond to environmental cues by regulating large-scale changes in gene expression. They contain a histidine kinase sensor that detects …

Motility-induced phases: out-of-equilibrium droplets, surfaces, and survival
… collective behavior to form aggregates known as fruiting bodies. Fruiting bodies are nascent structures that are critical to the survival of M. xanthus colonies, and while bacteria are inherently more complex than ABPs, we have shown that the onset of fruiting body formation is remarkably similar …

Independence and interdependence: signal transduction of two chemosensory receptors important for the regulation of gliding motility in Myxococcus xanthus
… which is essential for social motility and fruiting body formation. The Frz pathway controls reversal frequency, which is fundamental for directed movement by this surface-gliding bacterium. In addition, both pathways are involved in the chemotactic response towards several …
