Myxococcus xanthus requires gliding motility for swarming and fruiting body formation.

The delta-proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus coordinates its motility during aggregation and fruiting body formation.

Other PRLGs exhibited high expression level in fruiting body stages.

It secreted cAMP to coordinate fruiting body morphogenesis, and another compound to mediate aggregation.

This identified a significant turnover of the transcriptome during the course of fruiting body development.

Like mushrooms, the truffle is the fruiting body of a fungus; unlike mushrooms, it remains underground.

However, further studies could be performed to reveal their specific functional pathways in the fruiting body development.

This study suggests that PRLGs could be vital genes involving in fruiting body development in F. filiformis.

Deletion of a group 2 PdsA gene resulted in disruption of fruiting body morphogenesis, but left aggregation unaffected.

It sent its flat, half-biscuit shaped, fruiting body brackets, out in autumn to release a million or so spores.

However, few reports have been published on the regulation of fruiting body formation in F. velutipes at the molecular level.

Together these signal transduction pathways coordinate cell-cell behavior, permitting the complex interactions required for developmental aggregation and fruiting body formation.

In the first experiment the test tube cultures were exposed to weightlessness beginning from the stage of the fruiting body primordium.

This study serves to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of fruiting body development in the model mushroom C. cinerea.

We also include methods to examine various developmental and social behaviors ( fruiting body and spore formation, predation, and rippling motility).

Instead, when the time comes to have sex, it grows into a stalked fruiting body that looks like a tiny blistered lollipop.
