Myxobacteria II

The myxobacteria have become one of the premier model systems for examining questions of prokaryotic development. They have been referred to as "social bacteria" and go through a complex life cycle involving cellular morphogenesis, fruiting body formation, and a variety of cell-cell interactions. Myxobacteria have been experimentally domesticated and are amenable to the most sophisticated genetic, molecular and biochemical manipulations. Written by investigators from the leading myxobacterial laboratories in the world, Myxobacteria II brings the reader up-to-date on the various aspects of myxobacterial biology, development, and social behvavior.Dworkin, Martin is the author of 'Myxobacteria II' with ISBN 9781555810603 and ISBN 1555810608.
