The inversion of Bacillus subtilis macrofibers from right to left handedness induced by a temperature upshift was compared with inversion from left to right handedness induced by a temperature downshift. Following an upshift the new steady-state growth rate was achieved prior to inversion of helix orientation. There was no discernible perturbation of growth rate at the time of inversion. The time required after a temperature shift up or down for fiber rotation in the original sense to cease was dependent on the temperature to which the fibers were transferred and was always shortest when this temperature was highest. The results suggest a basic asymmetry in the two inversion processes. Cessation of rotation in the right-to-left inversion appeared to reflect contributions of the old and new wall materials that depended on their twist values, whereas the left-to-right inversion appeared to require that a specific amount of newly made wall material be inserted into the cell surface. The degree of twist of the newly inserted right-handed material appeared not to influence the timing of inversion.
