FtsZ ring clusters in min and partition mutants: role of both the Min system and the nucleoid in regulating FtsZ ring localization.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 1999
Yu X C, Margolin W
Abstract excerpt
To understand further the role of the nucleoid and the min system in selection of the cell division site, we examined FtsZ localization in Escherichia coli cells lacking MinCDE and in parC mutants defective in chromosome segregation. More than one FtsZ ring was sometimes found in the gaps between nucleoids in min mutant filaments. These multiple FtsZ rings were more apparent in longer cells; double or triple...
