Sporulation of Myxococcus xanthus in liquid shake flask cultures.

RESUMO
When suspended in a liquid starvation medium, exponentially growing Myxococcus xanthus sporulated within 3 days. These myxospores were similar to spores developed within fruiting bodies, as determined by electron microscopy and the production of spore-specific protein S. This liquid sporulation system may be useful as a means of preparing large quantities of myxospores and extracellular fluid for biochemical studies, including isolation of chemical signals produced during the sporulation process.
