Chromosome replication does not trigger cell division in E. coli.
Cell - 9 Feb 1990

Abstract excerpt
An essential part of the chromosome replication origin of E. coli K-12 and B/r was replaced by the plasmid pOU71. The average initiation mass of replication for pOU71 decreases with increasing temperature. The constructed strains were grown exponentially at different temperatures, and cell sizes and DNA content were measured by flow cytometry. The average DNA content increased with increasing temperature, but the...
