title: A mutation of ispA that is involved in isoprenoid biogenesis can improve growth of Escherichia coli at low temperatures.
abstract: Cells lacking rodZ are defective not only in cell shape, but also in cell growth at low temperatures. Cold-sensitive growth was suppressed by a mutation of ispA without recovery from the round shape, and the mutation improved cell growth of the wild-type at low temperatures.
