Chromosome replication and cell division in Escherichia coli at various temperatures of growth

O Pierucci. J Bacteriol. 1972 Feb.

Abstract

The effect of temperature on the growth rate and the pattern of chromosome replication during the division cycle of Escherichia coli B/r growing in various media was investigated. The time between divisions, the time for a round of replication (C), and the time between completion of a round and cell division (D) were threefold longer at 21 C than at 37 C. At all temperatures and in all media, D equalled one-half C, suggesting that a common mechanism controls chromosome replication and the progression of the cell toward division after completion of a round of replication.
