The presence of such domains is significant because myxobacteria exhibit complex cooperative social behaviors including swarming and formation of fruiting bodies, while E. coli and other pathogenic bacteria form biofilms that exhibit enhanced antibiotic and detergent resistance.
A presenza de tales dominios é significativa porque as mixobacterias mostran comportamentos sociais cooperativos complexos, como o exameamento e a formación de corpos frutíferos, mentres que E. coli e outras bacterias patóxenas forman biopelículas que mostran un aumento da resistencia a antibióticos e deterxentes.
