  • Fresh water myxobacteria : a taxonomic study

    Creator:
    Nitsos, Peggy Koerner
    Abstract:
    Myxobacteria are known to occur in the aquatic environment, however, little information is available regarding the taxonomy of these organisms. This investigation was initiated in an attempt to classify a group of fresh water cytophagas on the basis of biochemical and physiological as well as cultural and morphological characteristics. The...

  • Antagonistic properties of aquatic myxobacteria and pseudomonads

    Creator:
    Burnison, Bryan Kent
    Abstract:
    Certain species of the orders Myxobacterales and Pseudo-monadales are well-known antagonists. Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida have been reported to produce bacteriostatic and bactericidal substances. Among the myxobacteria there are various species which are known for their ability to produce lytic enzymes and antibiotics. Organisms from both of these groups...

  • Biosynthesis studies and mutasynthesis of myxobacterial secondary metabolites

    Creator:
    Knight, Eva W.
    Abstract:
    Myxobacteria represent an interesting class of Gram-negative soil bacteria. These bacteria utilize organic materials from the environment as a food source by the action of their extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. They grow vegetatively in the presence of adequate nutrients. During starvation conditions, however, they aggregate and form multicellular structures called fruiting...
