KilR of E. coli Rac prophage is a dual morphogenetic inhibitor of bacterial cell shape

Anusha Marepalli, Muruganandam Nandhakumar, Sutharsan Govindarajan

This study identifies KilR as a dual morphogenetic inhibitor that targets both FtsZ-mediated cell division and MreB-mediated cell elongation, enhancing bacterial survival during oxidative stress.
