Direct visualization of a molecular handshake that governs kin recognition and tissue formation in myxobacteria
Many organisms, including the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, regulate their social life through kin recognition. Here, Cao and Wall show that these bacteria use a polymorphic and fluid cell-surface receptor to recognize and assemble kin cells into a cooperative multicellular community that resembles...
