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.

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.

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 ...

A Specialized Peptidoglycan Synthase Promotes
mBio, 2017 Bacterial cell division has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. Despite being a key event in the bacterial cell cycle, cell division has not been explored in vivo in bacterial pathogens interacting with their hosts.

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 ...

Characterisation of ATP-Dependent Mur Ligases Involved in the Biogenesis of Cell Wall Peptidoglycan in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2013 ATP-dependent Mur ligases (Mur synthetases) play essential roles in the biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) as they catalyze the ligation of key amino acid residues to the stem peptide at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, thus representing ...

ZapE Is a Novel Cell Division Protein Interacting with FtsZ and Modulating the Z-Ring Dynamics
mBio, 2014 Bacterial cell division requires the formation of a mature divisome complex positioned at the midcell. The localization of the divisome complex is determined by the correct positioning, assembly, and constriction of the FtsZ ring (Z-ring).
