Identification and characterization of the Myxococcus xanthus bsgA gene product

The bsgA mutants of Myxococcus xanthus are blocked at a very early stage of the developmental program. They fail to produce fruiting bodies or to sporulate under normal conditions but can be rescued by extracellular complementation in mixtures with wild-type cells. A bsgA-lacZ gene fusion was constr...
