title: The Myxococcus xanthus developmentally expressed asgB-dependent genes can be targets of the A signal-generating or A signal-responding pathway.
abstract: Functional Myxococcus xanthus A signal-generating and A signal-responding pathways are required for the progression through early multicellular development. To identify genes responsive to these pathways, the expression of eight early developmental genes was analyzed. This examination identified one gene as a target of the A signal-generating pathway and four genes as targets of the A signal-responding pathway.
