Notably, the results in toto (Figure 6; Table III) revealed that both normal growth rate and cell shape is strictly dependent on: (i) the JM domain of RodZ (Figure 6, compare A with I, D with E and F with G), (ii) a TM domain to anchor it to the membrane (Figure 6, compare B and D with C), and (iii) the JM???TM part of RodZ being either preceded by its HTH domain, or followed by its P domain (Figu
