Examining Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus cell division processes and their metabolic cues during predation [PDF]
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a predatory bacterium that invades and digests other Gram-negative bacteria in its host dependent (HD) lifestyle. This predator traverses the outer membrane and digests a pore in the cell wall of the prey cell; it then ...
