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

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.

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 ...

Cell wall architecture and the role of wall teichoic acid in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2013 The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus only synthesises peptidoglycan during cell division at the septum using a complex protein biosynthetic apparatus called the divisome.

Bacterial flagellation and cell division [PDF]
Genes to Cells, 1998 The peritrichous flagella of Salmonella are synthesized and function through many cell generations. There are two different aspects in the relationship between flagellar biogenesis and cell division. Filament growth is independent from the cell cycle and the length of filaments appear to be locally controlled at each flagellar base, whereas the number ...

Biophysical investigation of bacterial aggregation [PDF]
, 2008 In nature, bacteria usually exist as aggregates, in order to withstand changes in environmental conditions. Bacterial aggregation is of great significance in the field of biotechnology, environmental studies and medicine.

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.

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.

Bacterial cell division spirals into control [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Directing proteins to specific subcellular addresses is a central problem in cell biology. Historically, perhaps because of their general lack of compartmentalized organelles, bacteria were viewed as relatively uniform at the subcellular level. However, with advances in fluorescence microscopy came the realization that bacteria, like their eukaryotic ...
