The bacterial cytoskeleton

Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2008 Feb;20(1):19-27. doi: 10.1016/j.ceb.2007.12.006.

Abstract

Bacteria contain a complex cytoskeleton that is more diverse than previously thought. Recent research provides insight into how bacterial actins, tubulins, and ParA proteins participate in a variety of cellular processes.
