Stress-induced formation of cell wall-deficient cells in filamentous actinomycetes
Bacteria can be forced to grow without cell wall if cell wall synthesis is inhibited. Here Ramijan et al. show that, in filamentous actinomycetes, hyperosmotic stress induces formation of wall-deficient cells that can switch to normal mycelial growth, or mutate and proliferate indefinitely as wall-l...
