Vibrio - Wikipedia
Vibrio is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, possessing a curved-rod (comma) shape, [1][2][3][4] several species of which can cause foodborne infection or soft-tissue infection called Vibriosis. Infection is commonly associated with eating undercooked seafood.

Vibrioid shape (named for the genus Vibrio, where it is common) may help cells swim faster. To make a vibrioid cell wall, you can imagine the contractor simply telling the workers to incorporate more material on one side of the rod relative to the other.
Asymmetric peptidoglycan editing generates cell curvature in
2022年3月21日 · Peptidoglycan hydrolases contribute to the generation of helical cell shape in Campylobacter and Helicobacter bacteria, while cytoskeletal or periskeletal proteins determine the curved, vibrioid...
The Bacterial Cytoskeleton - ScienceDirect
2003年12月12日 · Intermediate filaments (IFs) of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton play an important role in cell shape in higher organisms. No such filaments have been found in prokaryotes. Here, we describe a bacterial equivalent to IF proteins, named crescentin, whose cytoskeletal function is required for the vibrioid and helical shapes of Caulobacter crescentus ...

2019年4月30日 · In the vibrioid bacterium Vibrio cholerae, the polar anchor HubP constitutes a big polar complex which includes multiple proteins involved in chemotaxis and the flagellum. With this pipeline,...
The Bacterial Cytoskeleton - Cell Press
2003年12月12日 · The shape of a bacterial cell is often a conserved trait for a given species or genus and has been widely used as a taxonomical characteristic. This is apparent in the names of some bacteria, such as Helicobacter (helical), Vibrio (vibrioid), Stella (star), and Caulobacter crescentus (crescent) to name a few.

2016年10月3日 · crescentus exhibits a vibrioid (curved) morphology, which gives rise to helical shapes when the cells filament (Fig 2E and 2F) . This morphology requires the species-specific molecular scaffold crescentin, which imposes a structural constraint along the inner curve of the cell to guide PG synthesis [ 46 , 47 ].
