Cell division in Erwinia: inhibition of nuclear body division in filaments grown in penicillin or mitomycin C.
Low concentrations of penicillin or mitomycin C in cultures of Erwinia sp. inhibit cell division. Electron-microscopic analysis of serial sections of these nondividing cells reveals that division of the nuclear body is also inhibited.
