Autoplaquing in Myxococcus strains.
Autoplaquing has been observed in Myxococcus strains freshly isolated from soil. Initial observations suggest that this phenomenon is not induced by elevated temperature or visible light; we suggest that it may be the result of a derangement in the developmental autolytic mechanism within the cell.
