Whitworth D, Swain M
Mol Omics . 2020 Aug; 16(5):492-502. PMID: 32780046
Prokaryotic ncRNAs are important regulators of gene expression, and can be involved in complex signalling networks. The myxobacteria are model organisms for studies into multicellular development and microbial predation, being...

Zwarycz A, Livingstone P, Whitworth D
Mol Omics . 2020 May; 16(4):387-397. PMID: 32373862
Extracellular membrane vesicles are produced by all domains of life (bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes). Bacterial extracellular vesicles (outer membrane vesicles or OMVs) are produced by outer membrane blebbing, and contain...

Sutton D, Livingstone P, Furness E, Swain M, Whitworth D
Front Microbiol . 2019 Dec; 10:2650. PMID: 31798566
Despite widespread use in human biology, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of bacteria are few and have, to date, focused primarily on pathogens. Myxobacteria are predatory microbes with large patchwork genomes,...

Livingstone P, Ingleby O, Girdwood S, Cookson A, Morphew R, Whitworth D
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2019 Nov; 86(2). PMID: 31676482
spp. are common soil-dwelling organisms which kill and consume prey microbes through the secretion of antimicrobial substances. Two species of have been described previously ( and ). A polyphasic approach,...

Marshall R, Whitworth D
Bioessays . 2019 Mar; 41(4):e1800247. PMID: 30919490
For decades, myxobacteria have been spotlighted as exemplars of social "wolf-pack" predation, communally secreting antimicrobial substances into the shared public milieu. This behavior has been described as cooperative, becoming more...

Sengupta K, Swain M, Livingstone P, Whitworth D, Saha P
Front Microbiol . 2019 Jan; 9:3209. PMID: 30662435
sp.strain BUPNP1 can utilize the priority environmental pollutant 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as its sole source of carbon and energy. In this study, genome and transcriptome sequencing were used to gain mechanistic...

Livingstone P, Morphew R, Whitworth D
Front Microbiol . 2019 Jan; 9:3187. PMID: 30619233
is an abundant genus of predatory soil myxobacteria, containing two species, (for which a genome sequence is available) and . To investigate the genomic basis of predation, we genome-sequenced 23...

Livingstone P, Morphew R, Cookson A, Whitworth D
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2018 Sep; 84(22). PMID: 30194103
spp. are ubiquitous, chemoheterotrophic, filamentous gliding bacteria with the ability to prey on other microbes through a "wolf pack" mechanism. The genus currently comprises four known species (, , ,...

Whitworth D
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2018 Apr; 365(10). PMID: 29648585
Predation is an extreme form of competition between bacteria, involving the secretion of antimicrobial substances by predators, often packaged within outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). Recent studies into the Myxococcus xanthus/Escherichia...
