Successful infection proceeds simultaneously with nodule morphogenesis triggered by the signal compounds produced by Rhizobium in response to its host, and leads to the release of bacteria from the infection threads into the cortical cells. Concomitantly, the bacteria are enveloped in a host-derived plasma membrane called the peribacteroid membrane (PBM) (Verma et al., 1978 Robertson et al., 1978). Both host- and bacterium-derived proteins are specifically targeted to this membrane (Fortin et al., 1985, 1987 Katinakis Verma, 1985 Katinakis et al., 1988), making it a unique subcellular compartment. 

Brian (1949) presumed that griseofulvin affected the morphogenesis of the chitinous cell walls in fungi, and thus explained the nonsensitivity of fungi with cellulose cell walls (Oomycetes, yeast fungi) and of bacteria to this antibiotic.

In the course of our examination of the morphogenesis and reproduction of viruses we shall follow the chemical principle of classification suggested by Cooper (1961), based on chemical structure of the genetic macromolecule of the virus (RNA, s ingle-stranded DNA, double-helical DNA) and their classification in accordance with the principal evolutionary groups (viruses of plants, of animals, and of bacteria). Viruses of bacteria are usually called bacteriophages. 

New Data on the Molecular Mechanisms of Regulation of the Morphogenesis of Bacteria... 

The study of the molecular and genetic mechanisms of morphogenesis of bacteria in the last 18 months has followed previously established lines. The main result has been to fill in the details of the principles and phenomena which were examined in Chapter 3.
