Chapter 7.7, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
The cell cycle of the bacteria Caulobacter is maintained by three major regulatory proteins. They are GcrA and CtrA and DnaA. The cell cycle observed in the Caulobacter is similar to the cell cycle of eukaryotes in most of the aspects. The cell cycle of Caulobacter has been employed as a model to study the developmental process of cells in various organisms.
