Growth and Division of Escherichia coli

  • Chapter
Cell Growth

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 38))

Abstract

Though from a structural point of view, the prokaryotic cell is quite different from the eukaryotic one, both types do not differ with respect to the most essential characteristics of the living cell. These are genome duplication and cell division. It seems reasonable to expect that the regulation of both processes will underly the same principles in the two groups of organisms. Of course numerous differences occur on the chemical and structural level and such details will count to reach a general understanding of genome duplication and cell division.
