A newly identified prophage-encoded gene, <i>ymfM</i> , causes SOS-inducible filamentation in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2020-11-20
Abstract excerpt
Rod-shaped bacteria such as Escherichia coli can regulate cell division in response to stress, leading to filamentation, a process where cell growth and DNA replication continues in the absence of division, resulting in elongated cells. The classic example of stress is DNA damage which results in the activation of the SOS response. While the inhibition of cell division during SOS has traditionally been attributed...
