Abstract

A new type of high-temperature conditional cell division mutant has been isolated in Agmenellum quadruplicatum strain BG1 in which the process of cell division is uncoupled from that of growth at 39 C. This mutant produces abnormally small cells under conditions of nutrient limitation and forms multinucleoid filaments under normal growth conditions.
