Morphological changes in spherical E. coli induced by a DC electrical field.
Normally spherical cells of Escherichia coli C when grown on a solid minimal salts medium through which an electrical current was passed, developed as short rods, or occasionally, as longer filaments. Currents of up to 30 mA DC were used.
