Abstract excerpt
Septum formation is initiated by the FtsZ ring assembly in the middle of rod-shape bacteria. The mechanism which determines the division site in the membrane and makes it recognizable by FtsZ is still unknown. We have recently demonstrated that the putative division membrane domains can be visualized by a fluorescent membrane probe (Fishov and Woldring, Mol. Microbiol., 1999) and that these domains can be...
