A different arrangement of a cluster of genes involved in division and cell-wall synthesis separates bacilli from other bacteria in a phylogenetic analysis. We conclude that the relationships between these genes are not random and might reflect significant events in the evolution of the coupling between growth and division in bacteria.
在系统发育分析中,参与分裂和细胞壁合成的一组基因的不同排列将杆菌与其他细菌区分开来。我们得出结论,这些基因之间的关系并非随机,可能反映了细菌生长与分裂耦合进化过程中的重大事件。
