The myxobacteria are the epitome of prokaryotic multicellular complexity. In particular, efforts have focused on understanding the nature, function, and regulation of the signals that play a role in the characteristic social behavior of the myxobacteria. The process of aggregation is correlated with a massive lysis of the population. The fruiting body is the culmination of myxobacterial development. The author presumes that it represents the housing for the resting cells, called myxospores. The peculiar ecological habitat of each myxobacterium may dictate a particular myxospore-packaging requirement and thus a characteristic fruiting body morphology. The myxospores are the resting cells of the myxobacteria and are found within the fruiting body. One of the functions of the fruiting body may be rationalized in a similar fashion. The fruiting body may be viewed as a device whereby the cells, prior to entering the resting stage, aggregate and are concentrated at a high cell density. Understanding fruiting body morphogenesis is among the most difficult and challenging aspects of myxobacterial biology. Most of the studies directed toward the properties of fruiting body myxospores have focused on various cell surface proteins. Bacteria have traditionally been thought of as exemplifying the concept of the unicellular organism.
