Examples of myxobacteria in the following topics:
-
- The myxobacteria ("slime bacteria") are a group of bacteria that predominantly live in the soil and feed on insoluble organic substances.
- The myxobacteria have very large genomes, relative to other bacteria, e.g. 9–10 million nucleotides.
- Myxobacteria are included among the delta group of proteobacteria, a large taxon of Gram-negative forms.
- Myxobacteria can move actively by gliding.
- Myxobacteria produce a number of biomedically and industrially useful chemicals, such as antibiotics.
-
- When starved of amino acids, myxobacteria, or slime bacteria, detect surrounding cells in a process known as quorum sensing.
- The myxobacteria are a group of bacteria that predominantly live in the soil and feed on insoluble organic substances.
- The myxobacteria have very large genomes, relative to other bacteria e.g., 9–10 million nucleotides.
- Myxobacteria are included among the delta group of proteobacteria, a large taxon of Gram-negative forms.
- The fruiting process is thought to benefit myxobacteria by ensuring that cell growth is resumed with a group (swarm) of myxobacteria, rather than as isolated cells.
-
- The last include the myxobacteria, a unique group of bacteria that can aggregate to form multicellular fruiting bodies.
-
- Gliding can also be found in bacteria that are categorized as cyanobacteria and myxobacteria.
