- who: COPYRIGHT et al. from the Universidad de Granada, Spain have published the research: Concepts and conjectures concerning predatory performance of myxobacteria, in the Journal: nutrients. Production of the ubiquitous, volatile terpene geosmin by M. xanthus during exponential growth serves as a warning signal to dissuade the bacteriophagous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (Zaroubi et_al, 2022; Figure 1B). The geosmin BGC is also present in genomes from nearly every sequenced myxobacteria as well as many other natural product-producing bacteria (Gregory et_al, 2019). This provides an example of myxobacteria using specialized metabolite production defensively as prey to discourage predatory . . .
