In experiments, the researchers found that curved V. cholerae cells (left column) could more easily move through a thick gel. Straight rod-shaped V. cholerae that had the protein CrvA suppressed (right column) could not infect a host as efficiently. The researchers elongated the wild-type and CrvA-suppressed cells (bottom row) to accentuate the difference in shape the protein produces.
