Helical growth and the curved shape of Vibrio cholerae.
نویسنده
چکیده
The curved, comma, or bent shape of Vibrio cholerae is attributed to, and explained by, the normal helical growth of the cell. The comma-like shape of V. cholerae is not due to an asymmetrical positioning of peptidoglycan such that some chains of peptidoglycan are placed so they are more spread out on one side of the cell and squeezed together on the other side.
