Structure in the bacterial cell-wall during cell division
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1954Abstract The stages of bacterial cell division have been followed by electron microscope examinations of the isolated cell-walls of Staph. aureus and Strept. faecalis . In both these organisms a transverse cell-wall septum is formed which originates in and grows centripetally from the cell-wall.

The mechanism of bacterial asymmetric cell division
BioEssays, 1996AbstractAsymmetric cell division generates two cells that contain different regulatory proteins and express different fates. In an example of asymmetric cell division from B. subtilis, a site on the membrane of the dividing cell is chosen to establish the initial asymmetry. Recent results(1,2) show that a key regulatory protein, SpollE, is localized to

Bacterial Min proteins beyond the cell division
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2018Min system in Escherichia coli is one of the well-studied phenomena of self-organization and spatial distribution of proteins. Several multidisciplinary approaches were used to study the oscillation phenomena of the Min system. The focus of most of these studies was to understand the role of Min system in placement of the Z-ring to the mid-cell and to ...

Polarity in Bacterial Cell Division
Science Signaling, 2003The flagellar bacteria Caulobacter crescentus are polarized prokaryotes, and cell division produces asymmetric daughter cells. Lam et al. investigated how the response regulator DivK contributes to this polarized cell-division process. DivK localization is dynamic during the cell cycle.

Bacterial Sporulation as a Modified Procaryotic Cell Division
Nature, 1969This article reviews the idea that the bacterial spore is a small cell, formed by an asymmetric cell division and enveloped by the larger sister cell. Both processes seem to be morphological expressions of unbalanced growth resulting from shift down growth conditions.

The process of cell division is necessary for the growth of all cells. The mechanism by which eubacteria divide has so far shown little homology to the mechanisms employed by eukaryotic cells. Although this lack of similarity may be a result of our lack of knowledge about these processes it may also be that different mechanisms are involved.

Bacterial cell division as a target for new antibiotics
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2013Bacterial resistance to currently applied antibiotics complicates the treatment of infections and demands the evaluation of new strategies to counteract multidrug-resistant bacteria. In recent years, the inhibition of the bacterial divisome, mainly by targeting the central cell division mediator FtsZ, has been recognized as a promising strategy for ...

The chemistry of bacterial cell division
Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, 1949AbstractA brief review of cytological studies of bacterial cell division is followed by a description of preliminary investigations of the chemical nature of factors which, in complex media, influence the division process. In these, magnesium is shown to be essential for the normal cell division of both Gram positive and Gram negative rod‐shaped ...

The regulation of bacterial cell division: a time and place for it
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1998Temporal and spatial regulation of cell division assures that each daughter cell receives a copy of the chromosome. Within the past year, the application of fluorescence microscopy to the cell biology of bacteria has revealed an increasing number of proteins that are localized within the bacterial cell to carry out DNA segregation and cell division ...
