Abstract excerpt

Long-term adapted cell wall-deficient (L-forms) bacteria show unique cell shapes and growth patterns compared to wild-type bacteria. However, quantitative analysis to assess the morphological heterogeneity of existing L-forms is limited. In this study, we validated that two stable L-form strains of Escherichia coli (NC-7 and LWF+) hold spherical or pleomorphic morphology in confocal and electron microscopy. Using...
