Cell Reproduction and Morphological Changes in Mycoplasma capricolum
Open accessAbstract
The cell reproduction of Mycoplasma capricolum was studied. The velocity of DNA replication fork progression was about 6 kb/min, which is 10 times slower than that of Escherichia coli . The time required for one round of DNA replication accorded with the doubling time. The origin/terminus ratio was 2.0. M. capricolum cell morphology was classified into two types, rod and branched. In the ordinary-growth phase, the rod cells accounted for about 90% of the total population, with branched cells comprising the remaining 10%. The proportion of branched cells increased to 90% following inhibition of DNA replication by nucleoside starvation. An increase in the proportion of branched cells was induced by transfer of a temperature-sensitive mutant deficient in DNA replication to the restrictive temperature. The rod cells had a regular structure, a fixed cell length, and constrictions in the center. The DNA contents of individual rod cells were distributed with a standard deviation of 0.40 of average. The branched cells had irregular structures and a wide distribution of DNA contents. Counting of viable cells revealed that the cells ceased division upon cell type conversion; however, branched cells maintained a reproductive capacity. A model for the reproduction process is proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
