Relationship of Bdellovibrio elongation and fission to host cell size.

PMCID: PMC232876  PMID: 789349

Abstract

The extent of Bdellovibrio growth, and hence progeny produced in infected cells, appears to depend upon host cell size as determined from the ratio of ultimitate length of Bdellovibrio to host cell area calculated from light microscopy.
