Asticcacaulis biprosthecum explained

Asticcacaulis biprosthecum is a stalked bacterial species phylogenetically closely related to the species Caulobacter crescentus.[1] However, instead of a single polar organelle called the stalk, Asticcacaulis biprosthecum possesses two stalks that are laterally positioned along the cylindrical cell body.[2] The ecological significance of this arrangement is unknown.
