Direct live imaging of cell–cell protein transfer by transient outer membrane fusion in Myxococcus xanthus

In bacteria, multicellular behaviors are regulated by cell–cell signaling through the exchange of both diffusible and contact-dependent signals. In a multicellular context, Myxococcus cells can share outer membrane (OM) materials by an unknown mechanism involving the traAB genes and gliding motility...
