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 ...

Bacterial Division: Journey to the Center of the Cell [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Most bacteria divide by corralling the tubulin-like FtsZ protein to mid-cell, where it assembles into a ring of treadmilling membrane-tethered oligomers. A study in this issue reveals new details about how FtsZ finds its way to the ring.

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.

Chromosome segregation impacts on cell growth and division site selection in Corynebacterium glutamicum. [PDF]
, 2013 Spatial and temporal regulation of bacterial cell division is imperative for the production of viable offspring. In many rod-shaped bacteria, regulatory systems such as the Min system and nucleoid occlusion ensure the high fidelity of midcell divisome ...

Polarized Cell Division of Chlamydia trachomatis.
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Bacterial cell division predominantly occurs by a highly conserved process, termed binary fission, that requires the bacterial homologue of tubulin, FtsZ. Other mechanisms of bacterial cell division that are independent of FtsZ are rare.

Bacterial cell division: A moveable feast [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy technologies have revolutionized our views on bacterial cell organization. A prolific area of this revolution in tiny cell visualization has been cell division. Most bacteria divide in their middle, implying that they are aware of at least one particular site of themselves, the midcell division site.

Interactions of PatA with the Divisome during Heterocyst Differentiation in
mSphere, 2020 The Anabaena organismic unit is a filament of communicating cells. Under conditions of nitrogen scarcity, some cells along the filament differentiate into heterocysts, which are specialized in the fixation of atmospheric N2 and provide the vegetative ...

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 ...
