Bacteria lack the cytoskeleton and motors of eukaryotic cells, and their cytoplasm has been considered to be purely fluid. New data show that bacterial cytoplasm can solidify to resemble a soft glass, unless enzymatic activity creates motions to fluidize it.
细菌缺乏真核细胞的细胞骨架和马达,其细胞质一直被认为是纯粹的流体。新数据表明,除非酶活性产生运动使其流化,否则细菌细胞质可以凝固成像软玻璃一样。
