Abstract
The effect of amino acid starvation on cell division was studied in E. coli B cells. In this bacterial strain deprivation of a required amino acid resulted in synchronous cell division upon restoration of the amino acid. This synchronization was apparently due to a shift forward in the cell cycle during the starvation. Consequently the cells divided at a size that was smaller than normal.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
