Abstract
Elongation and division of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus were studied in axenic synchronous cultures. The cells elongate unidirectionally from one end attaining a length of several “unit cells”, and then divide into the corresponding number of cells. The length of the filament and, consequently, the progeny number, vary within the range of two to several dozen cells, according to the conditions used. A protein and a low molecular weight component are required for normal division.Keywords
