Our group review on the history of #Myxococcus xanthus as a model organism (https://t.co/GdNIKQHAbf) made the cover of the Journal of Bacteriology!!!
It's here! Celebrating 50 y of the MyxoMeeting, we myxologists teamed up & wrote a JBac group review on the history of #Myxococcus xanthus & how it became the coolest model bacterium ever 🦠🧫. Really proud of this 1, check it out for tons of useful info! https://t.co/7gmHZSAbK4

In recognition of his outstanding @inrsciences PhD work on #Myxococcus🦠🧫🔬 (🔥elucidating the basis of bacterial multicellularity🔥), and the overall strength of his dossier, Fares will be giving a keynote lecture at the upcoming @CSM_SCM2024 conference. Y'all r in for a treat!
Little by little, bacterium #Myxococcus xanthus keeps checking boxes for traits that define a #metazoan. Latest from our @inrsciences lab: an #integrin-like adhesin that confers traction and stabilizes focal adhesions needed for cellular #motility!🦠🔬🤯

CONGRATS to DR. @NicolasYJolivet on successfully defending his PhD thesis this morning! 2nd #PhD (and 🪓recipient!) from the @IslaMyxoLab. The #FocalAdhesion model of #Myxococcus gliding #motility is here to stay! Couldn't be prouder! 😀🦠🔬🧪🥳🍾
HUGE congratulations to DR. Fares Saïdi on successfully defending his PhD thesis today, with Excellent mention!!! First #PhD from the @IslaMyxoLab. The #Myxococcus and #polysaccharides fields will never be the same! Couldn't be prouder!!! 😀🍾🦠🔬🧫
Off to the 48th #MyxoMeeting in Princeton (organized by @shaevitz) with @ABignetpro! Looking forward to presenting the 1st talk of the meeting...by NOT starting out talking about #Myxococcus. Huh????? 😉🔬🦠🧫
Flights and hotel booked! Heading to Princeton mid-June for the #MyxoMeeting!!! 🦠🔬🥳 Heads up @shaevitz, we're comin' in hot!!! 😎🔥

Results are out! Our #Myxococcus xanthus research has been funded for another 5 years with a Discovery grant! 🍾🥳🎉💵 Many thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG for continuing to support fundamental research 🙏
And Reviewer #1, you rock!: (🧵1/2)
Enter CglB, a #lipoprotein known for >45 y to be essential for #Myxococcus gliding. Structurally, it matches a tip pilin, similar to human α-subunit integrins, w/ a von Willebrand A (VWA) domain containing a MIDAS (metal ion-dependent adhesion site) motif. Lots of disulfides too!
Bacterial focal adhesion (bFA) sites are stationary relative to the underlying substratum, while the #Myxococcus cell glides relative to the stationary bFA. But how do bFAs couple to the substratum and mediate force transduction across the cell envelope by IM H+ motors?
How does the coolest bacterium (predatory #Myxococcus xanthus) glide on surfaces w/o external appendages? Turns out it fires the CglB adhesin from a loaded OM barrel complex (like a cannon) to couple H+-powered focal adhesion machinery to the substratum https://t.co/MI2v4estNv 🧵

reveal a new binding motif recruiting Type IV Pili activator #SgmX to pole-localized #FrzS in #Myxococcus

Is OPX size somehow related to the size of the #periplasm in which it’s found? In cryo-electron tomograms of #Myxococcus xanthus, we measured the #periplasm to be 327 Å thick.
Our second #MicrobeOfTheDay for October 3rd is #Myxococcus xanthus - the social swarming "wolf pack" hunter bacteria that form fruiting bodies and maybe give hints on how multicellularlity developed. Their 'hunting' videos are spectacular (see: https://t.co/DQQnBK3isO) #BIO330
@sharmaG30 @IITHyderabad @omics_lab @official_ibab @IndiaDST Congratulations good sir! 'Tis a well-deserved opportunity and promotion!
FYI, I think you should start looking into that #Myxococcus xanthus bacterium. I hear it's a pretty cool system to study, with much to learn. I dunno, could be a good career decision?
We were thus able to optimize synthesis of a powerful metabolic label for selectively tagging LPS in live cells. For #Myxococcus, going forward, this is crucial for being able to study dynamic OM events such OM vesicle/tube formation & OM exchange, for which Myxo is famous.
Well, what happens in non-aggregating strains? Turns out that PilA-mutant cells (no T4P, no EPS), despite not aggregating, still grow faster in the presence of 7-N3-Kdo (vs slower in 8-N3-Kdo). Hmmm, maybe #Myxococcus just likes to munch on 7-N3-Kdo…
What do these synthetic sugars do to #Myxococcus? Growth in 8-N3-Kdo makes Myxo grow slower…but growth in 7-N3-Kdo makes it grow faster. Overall cell length isn’t really affected though…
