Content: Myxococcus xanthus produces several different extracellular signals that guide fruiting body morphogenesis and spore differentiation.Mutants defective in producing a signal may be rescued by codevelopment with wild type cells or cell fractions containing the signal.In this paper we identify two morphogens that rescue sporulation of E-signal-deficient mutant LS1191 at physiological concentrations.
