A mutation in the promoter region of zipA, a component of the divisome, suppresses the shape defect of RodZ-deficient cells

RodZ is important for maintaining the rod shape of Escherichia coli. Loss of RodZ causes conversion of the rod shape to a round shape and a growth rate slower than that of wild-type cells. Suppressor mutations that simultaneously restore both the growth rates and the rod shape were isolated. Most of...
