Temporal and spatial regulation of differentiation in Caulobacter crescentus.
Asymmetric cell division in the aquatic bacterium C. crescentus has proved to be a fruitful model for the study of cell differentiation. An understanding of the temporal and spatial mechanisms responsible for complex developmental programmes leading to polar morphogenesis is possible in these cells using a combination of genetic, biochemical, and molecular approaches.
