Growth and Division of Filamentous Forms of Escherichia coli.
Adler, Howard I. (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn.), and Alice A. Hardigree. Growth and division of filamentous forms of Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:223-226. 1965.-Cells of certain mutant strains of Escherichia coli grow into long multinucleate filaments after exposure to radiation. Deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, and protein synthesis proceed, but cytokinesis doe...
متن کاملGrowth and division of Escherichia coli.
Two assumptions frequently have been made in studies on the growth of individual bacteria. The increase in volume of rod-shaped bacteria has been assumed to consist of an increase only in length; thus, measurements of length have been used to estimate the volume of a cell (A. L. Koch et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 29:421, 1962; J. F. Collins and M. H. Richmond, J. Gen. Microbiol. 28:15, 1962). Seco...
متن کاملGrowth and division of Escherichia coli under microgravity conditions.
The growth rate in glucose minimal medium and time of entry into the stationary phase in pepton cultures were determined during the STS 42 mission of the space shuttle Discovery. Cells were cultured in plastic bags and growth was stopped at six different time points by lowering the temperature to 5 degrees C, and at a single time point, by formaldehyde fixation. Based on cell number determinati...
متن کاملMotility and chemotaxis of filamentous cells of Escherichia coli.
Filamentous cells of Escherichia coli can be produced by treatment with the antibiotic cephalexin, which blocks cell division but allows cell growth. To explore the effect of cell size on chemotactic activity, we studied the motility and chemotaxis of filamentous cells. The filaments, up to 50 times the length of normal E. coli organisms, were motile and had flagella along their entire lengths....
متن کاملUnstable Escherichia coli L forms revisited: growth requires peptidoglycan synthesis.
Growing bacterial L forms are reputed to lack peptidoglycan, although cell division is normally inseparable from septal peptidoglycan synthesis. To explore which cell division functions L forms use, we established a protocol for quantitatively converting a culture of a wild-type Escherichia coli K-12 strain overnight to a growing L-form-like state by use of the beta-lactam cefsulodin, a specifi...
