Mini-Review

 Skin and bones: the bacterial cytoskeleton, cell wall, and cell morphogenesis

Matthew T. Cabeen and Christine Jacobs-Wagner

The bacterial world is full of varying cell shapes and sizes, and individual species perpetuate a defined morphology generation after generation. We review recent findings and ideas about how bacteria use the cytoskeleton and other strategies to regulate cell growth in time and space to produce different shapes and sizes.

Abbreviations used in this paper: PBP, penicillin-binding protein; PG, peptidoglycan.
