Specific Assay for Differentiation in the Stalked Bacterium Caulobacter crescentus*

Lucille Shapiro 1,, Nina Agabian-Keshishian 1
PMCID: PMC283188  PMID: 16591854

Abstract

The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus carries out a distinct differentiation process during its life cycle. Cultures of the bacterium have been synchronized and an assay has been developed for monitoring the course of morphogenesis by the selective adsorption of radioactive RNA bacteriophage.
