Peptidoglycan hydrolases contribute to the generation of helical cell shape in Campylobacter and Helicobacter bacteria, while cytoskeletal or periskeletal proteins determine the curved, vibrioid cell shape of Caulobacter and Vibrio. Here, we identify... Read More about Asymmetric peptidoglycan editing generates cell curvature in Bdellovibrio predatory bacteria.
