Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the ...

In addition to its protective role, the cell wall also serves as a means to generate specific cell shapes, such as spheres, rods, or spirals, thus facilitating motility, surface colonization, and ...

The task of separating tiny bacteria based on their shape is a vital step in scientific and clinical applications, but also a difficult one. Whether an E. Coli bacterium is in a round or elongated ...

Once the cell envelope loses its shape, all of the bacteria eventually burst open and die, Goley says. "We established a model for how either depleting OPGs or activating the signaling pathway ...

While Caulobacter crescentus bacteria themselves are not generally thought to cause diseases, OPGs found abundantly in gram-negative bacteria -; bacteria in an enclosed shell-like membrane -; play ...

Bacteria are classified into different groups depending on their shape. There are five distinct bacterial shapes: spherical, rod, spiral, comma, and corkscrew.

Bacterial cell wall synthesis and division represent central themes in microbiology, as these processes underpin cellular integrity, morphology and reproduction. The dynamic interplay between the ...
