rod shape-determining protein MreC MreC (murein formation C) is involved in the rod shape determination in E. coli, and more generally in cell shape determination of bacteria whether or not they are rod-shaped. Cells defective in MreC are round. Species with MreC include many of the Proteobacteria, Gram-positives, and spirochetes.
