为了应对饥饿，粘细菌构建多细胞子实体，其中包含数千个细胞，并具有特定的物种特异性形状。为了协调子实体的发育，粘细菌细胞相互发送信号。这些信号的时间和细胞反应有助于子实体的形成。在鉴定了几种信号分子之后，最近已经鉴定了重要的转录调节因子和其他信号。还定义了信号转导途径的步骤。
In response to starvation, myxobacteria build multicellular fruiting bodies that contain many thousands of cells and that have particular species-specific shapes. To coordinate fruiting body development, the myxobacterial cells signal to each other. The timing of and cellular responses to these signals help to give form to the fruiting body. Following identification of several signal molecules, important transcriptional regulators and other signals have recently been identified. Steps on signal transduction pathways have also been defined.
