Control of Bacillus subtilis cell shape by RodZ

Environmental Microbiology, 2013
SummaryThe bacterial cell wall ensures the structural integrity of the cell and is the main determinant of cell shape. In Bacillus subtilis, three cytoskeletal proteins, MreB, MreBH and Mbl, are thought to play a crucial role in maintaining the rod cell shape.

Shape determination in Bacillus subtilis

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2007
The discovery of cytoskeletal elements in prokaryotes has dramatically changed the way we think about bacterial cell morphogenesis. The rod shape of Bacillus subtilis is maintained by the two major polymers (peptidoglycan and teichoic acids) of its thick cell wall and determined by the way these are inserted during growth.

Bacillus-shape design of polymer based drug delivery systems with janus-faced function for synergistic targeted drug delivery and more effective cancer therapy.

Molecular Pharmaceutics, 2015
The particle shape of the drug delivery systems had a strong impact on their in vitro and in vivo performance, but there was limited availability of techniques to produce the specific shaped drug carriers.

Factors contributing to helical shape determination and maintenance in Bacillus subtilis macrofibres

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Microbiologie, 1985
Bacillus subtilis, normally a rod-shaped organism, can grow in the form of a helix with pitch ranging over a spectrum from tight right-handed to tight left-handed depending upon the growth environment and genetic composition of the strain. Five factors have been identified which contribute either to the helical shape deformation or its maintenance: 1 ...

On the shape and structure of the crystal in two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1967
Abstract An electron-microscopic examination of the shape and structure of the crystals associated with two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis is reported. Two types of crystals (bipyramidal and biprismatic) were found. On the basis of the measurements of a number of crystals it is suggested that the molecules which construct both types of crystals ...
