ovococcus

Definitions

An ellipsoid-shaped bacterium

Examples

“The architecture in Gram-positive cocci and ovococci is largely uncharacterised, In this study⟳, atomic force⟳ microscopy (AFM) of purified sacculi of three species of ovococcus was combined with biochemical analysis and super resolution fluorescence microscopy.”

“According to the authors of recent research⟳ from Bloomington, Indiana, “The connection between peptidoglycan remodeling and cell division is poorly understood in ellipsoid-shaped ovococcus bacteria, such as the human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae.”

“This review⟳ summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms and regulation of peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis that result⟳ in ellipsoid-shaped, ovococcus Streptococcus cells.”
