Electron microscopy analysis of<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>cell division
18 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
The ultrastructure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells undergoing division was examined by electron microscopy. Two features of cell division were observed and are described here. First, cells are capable of undergoing a type of "snapping" postfission movement. This movement is likely due to a multi-layered cell wall in which the inner layer participates in septum formation while the outer layer ruptures first on...
