FIG. 1.
Electron micrographs of dividing C. crescentus cells. Elongated C. crescentus stalked cells initiate cell division as visualized by an invagination. Shown are representative images of JM1240, a cgtAC(Ts) mutant, at the permissive temperature, which displays normal cell division under these conditions (5). The swarmer and stalked cell halves of the late predivisional cell are marked.
