C-shaped cells caused by expression of an ftsA mutation in Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1992

Gayda R C, Henk M C, Leong D

Abstract excerpt

A plasmid, pDLL4, was isolated from a Tn5tac1 mutagenesis experiment with plasmid pZAQ. When pDLL4 was transformed into wild-type rod-shaped cells, it caused cells in the population to become curved (C-shaped or convoluted). The Tn5tac1 transposon was integrated within the carboxyl end of the ftsA gene in pDLL4. This mutation was designated ftsAc. Subcloning ftsAc DNA into another plasmid vector verified that the...
