Abstract excerpt
A temperature-sensitive mutant of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 was isolated. At the nonpermissive temperature cell division stopped and multinucleated filaments were formed. DNA, RNA, or protein synthesis was not affected until after about two generations. Different physiological conditions, such as anaerobiosis and different growth media, suppress the division deficiency at high temperatures. Certain mutations...
