The developmental events of sporulation and fruiting body formation in the prokaryote Myxococcus xanthus are preceded by a stage of massive cell death. Two phenotypically complementable strains of M. xanthus defective in developmental lysis were identified from a group of conditional sporulation mutants. Mixture of the two lysis groups resulted in full complementation of lysis, sporulation, and fruiting body formation; efficient sporulation was observed only in strain mixtures where lysis was complemented. We have identified a cell-free extract from developing cells that phenotypically complemented lysis, sporulation, and fruiting body formation in one group of mutants; the active component of this extract appeared to be tightly cell associated. The effect of the cell-free extract could be replaced by exogenously supplied glucosamine or mannosamine.
