The evolution of bacterial shape complexity by a curvature-inducing module
N. R. Martin, E. Blackman, B. P. Bratton…·Z. Gitai
This study identifies a two-protein module, CrvAB, that autonomously induces bacterial curvature independent of major elongation and division machinery, demonstrating modular shape determinants can drive morphological complexity evolution.
