Abstract
First isolated and classified in the 1960s,
Caulobacter crescentus
has been instrumental in the study of bacterial cell biology and differentiation.
C. crescentus
is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium that exhibits a dimorphic life cycle composed of two distinct cell types: a motile swarmer cell and a nonmotile, division-competent stalked cell. Progression through the cell cycle is accentuated by tightly controlled biogenesis of appendages, morphological transitions, and distinct localization of developmental regulators.
