Two Lipid Signals Guide Fruiting Body Development of Myxococcus xanthus

Myxococcus xanthus produces several extracellular signals that guide fruiting body morphogenesis and spore differentiation. Mutants defective in producing a signal may be rescued by codevelopment with wild-type cells or cell fractions containing the signal. In this paper, we identify two molecules t...
