Biosurfactant polysaccharide drives dispersal of exopolysaccharide-coated myxospores in Myxococcus xanthus

Antoine Bignet, Nada Rezania, Ahmad A. Kezzo…·Salim T. Islam

The paper identifies the role of biosurfactant polysaccharide in regulating myxospore dispersal by reducing surface stickiness, while revealing the true outermost coat as exopolysaccharide.

Integrin-like adhesin CglD confers traction and stabilizes bacterial focal adhesions involved in myxobacterial gliding motility

Nicolas Y. Jolivet, Endao Han, Akeisha M. Belgrave…·Salim T. Islam

The paper identifies CglD as a β-integrin-like adhesin in Myxococcus xanthus that stabilizes bacterial focal adhesions and enables gliding motility through mechanosensory and mechanotransductory functions.
