Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology Among the Fruiting Myxobacteria

PMCID: PMC249946  PMID: 5781583

Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid similarities were determined by competition experiments. The several strains of fruiting myxobacteria tested showed from 23 to 89% homology with the reference strains Myxococcus xanthus (FB) and M. fulvus (M6).
