When filamentous cells of Bacillus insolitus, formed by incubation at 30C, were incubated at 20C, a resumption of cross-wall formation occurred. Reversal of the inability to divide did not occur when de novo protein synthesis was prevented by chloramphenicol, or when D-cycloserine, vancomycin, or penicillin was present. Resumption of septation did take place in the presence of nalidixic acid.
