Myxococcus bacteria are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Their DNA is found in a single circular chromosome within the cytoplasm, characteristic of prokaryotic cells. Despite their simple cell structure, Myxococcus shows multicellular behavior during some life stages, which is unique among bacteria.
