Cells lacking rodZ are defective not only in cell shape, but also in cell growth at low temperatures. Cold-sensitive growth was suppressed by a mutation of ispA without recovery from the round shape, and the mutation improved cell growth of the wild-type at low temperatures.
rodsZ 缺失的细胞不仅在细胞形态上有缺陷,而且在低温下的细胞生长也有缺陷。ispA 的突变抑制了冷敏感生长,但不能使细胞恢复成圆形,并且该突变提高了野生型细胞在低温下的生长。
