Abstract excerpt
Histidine-constitutive (Hisc) strains of Salmonella typhimurium undergo cell division inhibition in the presence of high concentrations of a metabolizable carbon source. Filaments formed by Hisc strains show constrictions and contain evenly spaced nucleoids, suggesting a defect in septum formation. Inhibitors of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) induce a filamentation pattern identical to that of Hisc strains....
