Conditional filamentation as an adaptive trait of bacteria and its ecological significance in soils.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2022

Karasz David C, Weaver Anna I, Buckley Daniel H, Wilhelm Roland C

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria can regulate cell morphology in response to environmental conditions, altering their physiological and metabolic characteristics to improve survival. Conditional filamentation, in which cells suspend division while continuing lateral growth, is a strategy with a range of adaptive benefits. Here, we review the causes and consequences of conditional filamentation with respect to bacterial physiology,...
