Abstract

Grula, E. A. (Oklahoma State University, Stillwater), and Gerald L. Smith. Cell division in a species of Erwinia. IX. Electron microscopy of normally dividing cells. J. Bacteriol. 90:1054–1058. 1965.—Cells of an Erwinia species (an Enterobacteriaceae) divide by concomitant invagination of the cell wall and membrane. It is concluded that the process is initiated and sustained by the cell membrane.
