Bacterial programmed cell death: making sense of a paradox.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Jan 2014

Bayles Kenneth W

Abstract excerpt

Although the concept of programmed cell death (PCD) in bacteria has been met with scepticism, a growing body of evidence suggests that it can no longer be ignored. Several recent studies indicate that the phenotypic manifestations of apoptosis, which are processes that are associated with ordered cellular disassembly in eukaryotes, are conserved in bacteria. In this Opinion article, I propose a model for the...
