Potassium requirement for cell division in Anacystis nidulans

Potassium requirement for cell division in Anacystis nidulans

L O Ingram et al. J Bacteriol. 1976 Jan.

Abstract

A potassium requirement for growth can be readily demonstrated in the autotrophic blue-green bacterium Anacystis nidulans strain TX20 equivalent to 0.7% of the cellular dry weight. Starvation of this organism for potassium partially dissociates growth from cell division, thereby inducing 50% of the population to form filaments.
