A Kinase-Phosphatase Switch Transduces Environmental Information into a Bacterial Cell Cycle Circuit.

The bacterial cell cycle has been extensively studied under standard growth conditions. How it is modulated in response to environmental changes remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the freshwater bacterium Caulobacter crescentus blocks cell division and grows to filamentous cells in...
