Abstract
Clumping of cells is one of the major obstacles to culture wild myxobacterial strains in liquid media. In an effort to solve this problem, we tried a method isolating spontaneous mutants that grow dispersed in liquid media from a wild myxobacterial strain. Myxococcus stipitatus KYC1001, a newly isolated strain from Gyearyongsan National Park in Korea, clumps and sticks to the surface of culture vessels as other wild myxobacteria behave in liquid media. Taking an advantage of the characteristics that dispersed mutant cells would grow dispersed while most other wild type cells would clump and stick to the surface of culture vessels, spontaneous dispersed mutants were enriched by repeated subculturing of culture supernatant. A resultant mutant, KYC2001, did not form any clumps nor stick to the surface of culture flasks, but grew completely dispersed in liquid. Meanwhile, three other spontaneous mutants, KYC2002, KYC2003, and KYC2004, shelved partially dispersed phenotype. A major portion of the cells grew dispersed in liquid but they still formed some clumps.
