Control of cell morphogenesis in bacteria: two distinct ways to make a rod-shaped cell. (2003, neutral): “this organism (Jones et al., 2001).”
Toxin-antitoxin systems in bacteria and archaea. (2011, background): “MreB is required for maintenance of the typical rod shape of cells, and assembles into a helical structure that coils along the cell length (48, 104).”
Assembly and Development of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Matrix (2009, background): “filaments coiled around the rod shaped bacteria cell [22–24].”
Bacterial shape (2003, background): “The Surface Stress Theory (Koch, 1988) proposes that the cytoplasmic membrane behaves as an internal scaffold (actually, a fully formed mould), the shape of which is determined by nothing more than osmotic pressure and two stable poles of defined diameter.”
