Draft Genome of a Type 4 Pilus Defective Myxococcus xanthus Strain, DZF1
Müller, Susanne; Willett, Jonathan W.; Bahr, Sarah M.; Scott, Jodie C.; Wilson, Janet M.; Darnell, Cynthia L.; Vlamakis, Hera C.; Kirby, John R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013)Myxococcus xanthus is a member of the Myxococcales order within the deltaproteobacterial subdivision. Here, we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of the type IV pilus (T4P) defective strain DZF1, which includes many ... -
Draft Genome Sequence of Myxococcus xanthus Wild-Type Strain DZ2, a Model Organism for Predation and Development
Müller, Susanne; Willett, Jonathan W.; Bahr, Sarah M.; Darnell, Cynthia L.; Hummels, Katherine R.; Dong, Carolyn K.; Vlamakis, Hera C; Kirby, John R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013)Myxococcus xanthus is a member of the Myxococcales order within the Deltaproteobacteria subdivision. The myxobacteria reside in soil, have relatively large genomes, and display complex life cycles. Here, we report the ... -
From Cell Differentiation to Cell Collectives: Bacillus subtilis Uses Division of Labor to Migrate
van Gestel, Jordi; Vlamakis, Hera; Kolter, Roberto (Public Library of Science, 2015)The organization of cells, emerging from cell–cell interactions, can give rise to collective properties. These properties are adaptive when together cells can face environmental challenges that they separately cannot. One ... -
Galactose Metabolism Plays a Crucial Role in Biofilm Formation by Bacillus subtilis
Chai, Yunrong; Beauregard, Pascale; Vlamakis, Hera C; Losick, Richard M.; Kolter, Roberto Guillermo (American Society of Microbiology, 2012)Galactose is a common monosaccharide that can be utilized by all living organisms via the activities of three main enzymes that make up the Leloir pathway: GalK, GalT, and GalE. In Bacillus subtilis, the absence of GalE ... -
Mixing and Matching Siderophore Clusters: Structure and Biosynthesis of Serratiochelins from Serratia sp. V4
Seyedsayamdost, Mohammad; Cleto, Sara; Carr, Gavin; Vlamakis, Hera C.; João Vieira, Maria; Kolter, Roberto Guillermo; Clardy, Jon C. (American Chemical Society, 2012)Interrogation of the evolutionary history underlying the remarkable structures and biological activities of natural products has been complicated by not knowing the functions they have evolved to fulfill. Siderophores—soluble, ... -
Morphological Heterogeneity and Attachment of Phaeobacter inhibens
Segev, Einat; Tellez, Adèle; Vlamakis, Hera; Kolter, Roberto (Public Library of Science, 2015)The Roseobacter clade is a key group of bacteria in the ocean exhibiting diverse metabolic repertoires and a wide range of symbiotic life-styles. Many Roseobacters possess remarkable capabilities of attachment to both ... -
Mutualistic interaction between Salmonella enterica and Aspergillus niger and its effects on Zea mays colonization
Balbontín, Roberto; Vlamakis, Hera; Kolter, Roberto (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Salmonella Typhimurium inhabits a variety of environments and is able to infect a broad range of hosts. Throughout its life cycle, some hosts can act as intermediates in the path to the infection of others. Aspergillus ...
