Crucial role for membrane fluidity in proliferation of primitive cells.

Cell reports - 31 May 2012

Mercier Romain, Domínguez-Cuevas Patricia, Errington Jeff

Abstract excerpt

The cell wall is a defining structural feature of the bacterial subkingdom. However, most bacteria are capable of mutating into a cell-wall-deficient "L-form" state, requiring remarkable physiological and structural adaptations. L-forms proliferate by an unusual membrane deformation and scission process that is independent of the conserved and normally essential FtsZ based division machinery, and which may...
