Gram-negative bacterium Myxococcus xanthus used as a model system to address these fundamental questions. Specifically, using a multidisciplinary approach from the realms of genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, bioinformatics and quantitative physics to study the motility mechanism and its regulation in response to environmental cues, both at the single and multicellular levels. In the longer term, our goal is to build a high-resolution model of a bacterial multicellular life cycle integrating knowledge from experiments and computational simulations.
