| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis shows complex morphological differentiation. A. missouriensis is a filamentous bacterium and produces terminal sporangia that include hundreds of flagellated spores. Upon contact with water, the spores are released from the sporangia by dehiscence and swim rapidly for a short period of time until they find niches for germination. In this research project, I studied the molecular basis of its complex morphogenesis by several approaches and obtained new knowledge of the fundamental issues of cell biology, such as “sleeping and awakening of cells” and “regulation of cell motility”.
