Abstract
ABSTRACT
Cohesion of
Myxococcus xanthus
cells involves interaction of a cell surface cohesin with a component of the extracellular matrix. In this work, two previously isolated cohesion-defective (
fbd
) mutants were characterized. The
fbdA
and
fbdB
genes do not encode the cohesins but are necessary for their production. Both mutants produce type IV pili, suggesting that PilA is not a major cohesin.
