Morphological changes in spherical E. coli induced by a DC electrical field.

Normally spherical cells of Escherichia coli C when grown on a solid minimal salts medium through which an electrical current was passed, developed as short rods, or occasionally, as longer filaments. Currents of up to 30 mA DC were used.

Morphological changes in Escherichia coli subjected to direct current electrical fields.

Rod shaped Escherichia coli grown in a liquid minimal salts medium, through which an electrical current of 20 mA direct current was passed, were found to increase up to 25% of their original length. When the current was removed, or treated cells grown in fresh medium, they reverted to their original size and distribution.
