Abstract excerpt
We have previously proposed that fluctuations in Ca(2+) levels should play an important role in bacteria as in eukaryotes in regulating cell cycle events (Norris et al., J. Theor. Biol. 134 (1998) 341-350). This proposal implied the presence of Ca(2+) uptake systems in bacteria, cell cycle mutants simultaneously defective in Ca(2+)-homeostasis, and perturbation of cell cycle processes when cellular Ca(2+) levels...
