comment:Mutations in Escherichia coli muk or par genes result in an increased number of anucleoid cells. Mutations in some genes involved in cell division can also result in a cell having an increased number of nucleoids than typical. These nucleoids have been shown to be evenly distributed throughout a filament, or distributed in some other fashion. This phenotype would not be consistent throughout the population.
