Filament Induction in Escherichia coli by Ricinoleic Acid.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1955
SummarySodium ricinoleate interferes with cell division in E. coli causing the organisms to develop as filaments. The effect appears to be specific and dependent upon the 9:10 unsaturation and the 12-hydroxy group as well as the cis-configuration around the double bond, present in this fatty acid.
