Abstract excerpt
Incubation of thermosensitive dna mutants of Bacillus subtilis at the nonpermissive temperature results, at the cellular level, in the appearance of swellings. The study of one particular type of swelling, named "terminal balloon", reveals that the occurrence of the latter was correlated with completion of rounds of DNA replication. Morphological and autoradiographic observations reveal that (a) cell wall...
