Molecular Basis and Ecological Relevance of Caulobacter Cell Filamentation in Freshwater Habitats
Many bacteria drastically change their cell size and morphology in response to changing environmental conditions. Here, we demonstrate that the freshwater bacterium Caulobacter crescentus and related species transform into filamentous cells in response to conditions that commonly occur in their natu...
