Colony shape as a genetic trait in the pattern-forming Bacillus mycoides.

BMC microbiology - 13 Nov 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bacillus mycoides Flügge, a Gram-positive, non-motile soil bacterium assigned to Bacillus cereus group, grows on agar as chains of cells linked end to end, forming radial filaments curving clock- or counter-clockwise (SIN or DX morphotypes). The molecular mechanism causing asymmetric curving is not known: our working hypothesis considers regulation of filamentous growth as the prerequisite for these...
