“…Air contamination by myxobacteria has been reported occasionally, if rarely (Wu et al ., 1968). About half the leaves taken from various shrubs and trees in Germany yielded myxobacteria (Rückert, 1981). However, not all tree species seem to harbour myxobacteria.…”

What are myxobacteria?Myxobacteria are Gram-negative eubacteria with relatively large (0.6-1.2 by 3-15 m) rod-shaped cells. They live in soil and related habitats and are famous for three capabilities: (i) they move by gliding and their colonies are therefore thin, film-like swarms that spread gradually over the culture plate; (ii) they have sophisticated intercellular communication systems and a highly developed social life; and (iii) they show a remarkable morphogenetic potential, which is expressed on two levels. In a co-operative morphogenesis involving 10 5 -10 6 cells, induced by starvation conditions, they may produce a fruiting body. Within the maturing fruiting body, a cellular morphogenesis takes place, during which the vegetative cells convert into desiccation-resistant myxospores. It might also be mentioned that myxobacteria have the largest genomes of all bacteria (9500-10 000 kbp) and a DNA with a G þ C content of 66-72 mol%. Details can be found in several reviews (Reichenbach and

This review presents an overview of the present status of the biology of the myxobacteria, including the molecular biology of the systems that control and regulate myxobacterial gliding movement and morphogenesis. The present status of myxobacterial taxonomy and phylogeny is described. The evolutionary biology of the myxobacteria is emphasized with respect to their social behavior and the molecular basis of their signal chains. Most important within the metabolic physiology are the biologically active secondary metabolites of myxobacteria and their molecular mechanisms of action. The global distribution of myxobacteria in soils is described on the basis of data given in the literature as well as of comprehensive analyses of 1398 soil samples from 64 countries of all continents. The results are analyzed with respect to the spectrum and number of species depending on ecological and habitat-specific factors. The myxobacterial floras of different climate zones are compared. Included are myxobacterial species adapted to extreme biotopes. The efficiency of different methods used presently for isolation of myxobacteria is compared.

“…Myxobacteria also appear to settle in specific habitats through the movement of soil and dust particles by air currents, as suggested by reports of air contamination (Wu et al 1968) and their presence on plant leaf surfaces (Ruckert 1981). Freshwater habitats can also support myxobacteria (Hook 1977).…”

“…Members of the genus Archangium are commonly isolated from soil and herbivore dung (Holt et al 1994;Shimkets et al 2006). The presence of A. gephyra has been reported in grassland soils in Southern Chile (Ruckert 1978), rock, bark, rotting wood, dung (Dawid 1979), and plant leaf samples (Ruckert 1981). Isolation agar with 0.5 % NaCl stimulates the development of A. gephyra (Ruckert 1978), indicating some degree of salt tolerance, which most myxobacteria lack.…”

Myxobacteria are a group of eubacteria classified in the order Myxococcales, further subdivided into two suborders and eight families. These unique microorganisms exhibit distinctive social behavior and morphogenetic characteristics, such as the ability to form myxospores and fruiting bodies. Cellular aggregation is an important feature that allows these microorganisms to adapt to almost every environment.
