Interactions of Different Streptomyces Species and Myxococcus xanthus Affect Myxococcus Development and Induce the Production of DK-Xanthenes.

ABSTRACT: The co-culturing of microorganisms is a well-known strategy to study microbial interactions in the laboratory. This approach facilitates the identification of new signals and molecules produced by one species that affects other species' behavior. In this work, we have studied the effects of the interaction of nine Streptomyces species (S. albidoflavus, S. ambofaciens, S. argillaceus, S. griseus, S. lividans, S. olivaceus, S. parvulus, S. peucetius, and S. rochei) with the predator bacteria Myxococcus xanthus, five of which (S. albidoflavus, S. griseus, S. lividans, S. olivaceus, and S. argillaceus) induce mound formation of M. xanthus on complex media (Casitone Yeast extra
