Phylum Myxobacteria
Myxobacteria are single-cell but they
come together and exhibit group behavior.
The group behavior has a distinct form.
Myxobacteria live in a slime or
goo that the cells produce.
During periods when there is not
much moisture or food available, the
myxobacteria group together.
Myxobacteria sometimes grow stalk-like
structures. these stalks become
reproductive structures which
produce myxospores.
Myxa: mucus (Greek)
