Abstract
Myxococcus stipitatus, a myxobacterium, forms spherical fruiting bodies with stems on edaphic substrates in enrichment cultures for isolation. However, an agar medium on which purely isolated strains of M. stipitatus form this type of fruiting bodies has not been known until now. In this study, since M. stipitatus DSM 14675 forms a hemispherical fruiting body-like structure on CYS agar medium, the effects of CYS medium components on fruiting body formation were investigated. Based on the results obtained, an agar medium on which M. stipitatus forms spherical fruiting bodies with stems was developed. Additionally, a liquid medium in which M. stipitatus grows in a dispersed manner was also formulated in this investigation.
