The Spherical Shape of Staphylococcus Aureus is a Result of MreB

Question

The spherical shape of Staphylococcus aureus is a result of MreB function.

Accepted Answer

The spherical shape of Staphylococcus aureus is not a result of MreB function. MreB is a bacterial cytoskeleton protein that helps in maintaining the rod shape of certain bacteria. However, in Staphylococcus aureus, the cell shape is mainly determined by the peptidoglycan layer and other cell wall components.
