Abstract
A mutant of Escherichia coli K12 is described which, depending on temperature and Mg2+ concentration, can grow as a rod or sphere. The mutational defect was traced to an alteration in the cytoplasmic membrane. Rod‐shaped cells ànd spherical cells did not differ measurably in the chemistry of their murein.Keywords
