Discovery that bacterium is phosphate gourmet key clue to what makes it most social of bacteria
New research into one of the world's most social bacteria - Myxococcus xanthus, has discovered that it has a gourmet style approach to its consumption of phosphates, which provides a key clue to what makes it the most "social" of bacteria. Myxococcus xanthus is amazingly social and co-operative for a bacterium. It "hunts" as a pack, it makes a collective decision with other M. xanthus whet...Baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) Hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Sigma-Aldrich
