Fast lysis of Escherichia coli filament cells requires differentiation of potential division sites.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jan 2002

de Pedro Miguel Angel, Höltje Joachim-Volker, Schwarz Heinz

Abstract excerpt

Periodic activation of zonal peptidoglycan (murein) synthesis at division sites in Escherichia coli has been reported recently. Zonal synthesis is responsible for septum formation, whereas elongation of the cell sacculus is performed by diffuse insertion of precursors. Zonal synthesis can be triggered in ftsA, ftsQ and ftsI (pbpB) division mutants growing as filaments at the restrictive temperature, but not in...
