EzrA: a spectrin-like scaffold in the bacterial cell division machinery
Microbial Cell, 2015 Much progress has been made in identifying the components of the divisome, the assembly of proteins that undertakes the vital process of cell division in bacteria.

Host Actin Polymerization Tunes the Cell Division Cycle of an Intracellular Pathogen
Cell Reports, 2015 Growth and division are two of the most fundamental capabilities of a bacterial cell. While they are well described for model organisms growing in broth culture, very little is known about the cell division cycle of bacteria replicating in more complex ...

Is Longitudinal Division in Rod-Shaped Bacteria a Matter of Swapping Axis? [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The morphology of bacterial species shows a wealth of variation from star-shaped to spherical and rod- to spiral-shaped, to mention a few. Their mode of growth and division is also very diverse and flexible ranging from polar growth and lateral surface ...

Structural Analysis of the Interaction between the Bacterial Cell Division Proteins FtsQ and FtsB. [PDF]
mBio, 2018 Most bacteria and archaea use the tubulin homologue FtsZ as its central organizer of cell division. In Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria, FtsZ recruits cytosolic, transmembrane, periplasmic, and outer membrane proteins, assembling the divisome that

Physical aspects of bacterial cell division
, 2011 The growth behavior of a bacterial population is determined by the growth and the division of its individual cells. The properties of the population can be understood as ensemble averages over the properties of the single cells.

pH-dependent activation of cytokinesis modulates Escherichia coli cell size.
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Cell size is a complex trait, derived from both genetic and environmental factors. Environmental determinants of bacterial cell size identified to date primarily target assembly of cytosolic components of the cell division machinery.

Communications Biology, 2023 Bacteria dynamically regulate cell size and growth to thrive in changing environments. While previous studies have characterized bacterial growth physiology at steady-state, a quantitative understanding of bacterial physiology in time-varying ...

mSystems, 2023 Net growth of microbial populations, that is, changes in abundances over time, can be studied using 16S rRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, this approach does not differentiate between mortality and cell division rates.

The role of CenKR in the coordination of Rhodobacter sphaeroides cell elongation and division
mBio, 2023 Cell elongation and division are essential aspects of the bacterial life cycle that must be coordinated for viability and replication. The impact of misregulation of these processes is not well understood as these systems are often not amenable to ...

Inhibition of host cell division by T5 protein 008 (Hdi)
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteriophages (phages) have evolved effective methods of exploiting host-cell machinery by redirecting molecular pathways. In this study, we describe an inhibitor of bacterial growth, T5.008, encoded by the T5 phage.
