Draft Genome Sequence of Myxococcus xanthus Wild-Type Strain DZ2, a Model Organism for Predation and Development.

ABSTRACT: 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 whole-genome shotgun sequence of strain DZ2, which includes unique genes not found previously in strain DK1622.

Complete Genome Assembly of Myxococcus xanthus Strain DZ2 Using Long High-Fidelity (HiFi) Reads Generated with PacBio Technology.

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram-negative social bacterium belonging to the order Myxococcales of the class Deltaproteobacteria. It is a facultative social predator found in soils across the globe and is thought to be crucial for the microbial ecosystem. Here, we report a complete high-quality reference genome of the M. xanthus strain DZ2.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Nonmotile Myxococcus xanthus Strain NM.

Project description:Myxobacteria exhibit multicellular swarming behavior, which depends on the coordination of cell motility. Unlike other myxobacteria, Myxococcus xanthus NM is not capable of forming swarms due to a defective motility system. Here, we present the 9.35-Mbp genome sequence of this nonmotile myxobacterium.

Bacillaene and sporulation protect Bacillus subtilis from predation by Myxococcus xanthus.

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus and Bacillus subtilis are common soil-dwelling bacteria that produce a wide range of secondary metabolites and sporulate under nutrient-limiting conditions. Both organisms affect the composition and dynamics of microbial communities in the soil. However, M. xanthus is known to be a predator, while B. subtilis is not. A screen of various prey led to the finding that M. xanthus is capable of consuming laboratory strains of B. subtilis, while the ancestral strain, NCIB3610, was resistant to predation. Based in part on recent characterization of several strains of B. subtilis, we were able to determine that the pks gene cluster, which is required for production of bacillaene, is the major factor allowing B. subtilis NCIB3610 cells to resist predation by M. xanthus. Furthermore, purified bacillaene was added exogenously to domesticated strains, resulting in resistance to predation. Lastly, we found that M. xanthus is incapable of consuming B. subtilis spores even from laboratory strains, indicating the evolutionary fitness of sporulation as a survival strategy. Together, the results suggest that bacillaene inhibits M. xanthus predation, allowing sufficient time for development of B. subtilis spores.

Predation by Myxococcus xanthus induces Bacillus subtilis to form spore-filled megastructures.

Project description:Biofilm formation is a common mechanism for surviving environmental stress and can be triggered by both intraspecies and interspecies interactions. Prolonged predator-prey interactions between the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus and Bacillus subtilis were found to induce the formation of a new type of B. subtilis biofilm, termed megastructures. Megastructures are tree-like brachiations that are as large as 500 ?m in diameter, are raised above the surface between 150 and 200 ?m, and are filled with viable endospores embedded within a dense matrix. Megastructure formation did not depend on TasA, EpsE, SinI, RemA, or surfactin production and thus is genetically distinguishable from colony biofilm formation on MSgg medium. As B. subtilis endospores are not susceptible to predation by M. xanthus, megastructures appear to provide an alternative mechanism for survival. In addition, M. xanthus fruiting bodies were found immediately adjacent to the megastructures in nearly all instances, suggesting that M. xanthus is unable to acquire sufficient nutrients from cells housed within the megastructures. Lastly, a B. subtilis mutant lacking the ability to defend itself via bacillaene production formed megastructures more rapidly than the parent. Together, the results indicate that production of the megastructure facilitates B. subtilis escape into dormancy via sporulation.

Myxococcus xanthus cells: wild-type vs. EBP mutant gene expression during development

Project description:The mutants in our study carry an insertion in the nla4 (MXAN2516), nla6 (MXAN4042), nla18 (MXAN3692) or nla28 (MXAN1167) gene. (MXAN numbers are the conventional gene names; nlas are common names). Mutations in the nla genes produce strong defects in fruiting body development. All four of the nla genes code for enhancer binding proteins (EBPs), which are transcriptional activators. In this study, we examined how the nla mutations alter gene expression patterns in developing cells.

Inorganic polyphosphate in the social life of Myxococcus xanthus: motility, development, and predation.

Project description:Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P), a polymer of tens or hundreds of phosphate residues linked by high-energy, ATP-like bonds, is found in all organisms and performs a wide variety of functions. Myxococcus xanthus, a social bacterium that feeds on other bacteria and forms fruiting bodies and spores, depends on poly P for motility, development, and nutritional predation. Two poly P metabolizing enzymes were studied in M. xanthus: poly P kinase 1, which synthesizes poly P reversibly from ATP, and poly P:AMP phosphotransferase, which uses poly P as a donor to also reversibly convert AMP to ADP. The null mutant of ppk1 is defective in social motility, overproduces pilin protein on the cell surface, is delayed in fruiting body formation, produces fewer spores, is delayed in germination, and forms far smaller plaques on a lawn of Klebsiella aerogenes. The pap mutant is also impaired in social motility, but shows only slightly reduced abilities in development and predation.
