A round mutant of Escherichia coli, when grown in Methocel medium, forms chains of cells and does not form tetrads. This implies that successive division planes of the round mutant are parallel rather than perpendicular. These results differ from a previous proposal that division planes in this round mutant are perpendicular to the prior division plane (W. D. Donachie, S. Addinall, and K. Begg, Bioessays 17:569-576, 1995).
大肠杆菌的一种圆形突变体，当在甲基纤维素培养基中生长时，会形成细胞链而不形成四联体细胞。这意味着圆形突变体连续的分裂平面是平行的而非垂直的。这些结果与之前的一种观点不同，即该圆形突变体的分裂平面垂直于先前的分裂平面（W. D. 多纳基、S. 阿迪纳尔和K. 贝格，《生物论文》17:569 - 576，1995年）。
