This complex ecosystem relies on bacteria to keep the population intact by cell division, with one mother cell splitting into two daughter cells. “The Corynebacterium cells in dental plaque are like a ...
Almost all of these bacteria reproduce through binary fission, where a single mother cell divides into two daughter cells. However, new research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and ADA ...

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii splitting into multiple cells at once, a rare kind of cell division called multiple fission. C. matruchotii is one of the most common bacteria ...
Normally, bacteria divide into two cells, but Corynebacterium matruchotii can reproduce themselves up to 14 times in an unusual process called multiple fission. Even when we brush our teeth ...
