Analysis of the pattern of expression of developmentally regulated genes in the esg mutant background, suggests that E-signaling dependent events of development occur after 3 to 5 hours of development. It has been predicted that iso-15:0 may function as a signal molecule based on the observation that esg mutants do not develop and synthesize low levels of iso-15:0. By growing wild-type and esg mutant cells of M. xanthus with H$\sp3$-labeled branched-chain fatty acids we showed that esg mutant cells incorporated labeled leucine into lipids at no more than 11% of the wild-type cells. Levels of iso-15:0 incorporated into the phospholipids of the esg mutant cells were observed to be more than three times lower than those of wild-type cells. The...
