Effects of the Min system on nucleoid segregation in Escherichia coli.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Oct 2002

Åkerlund Thomas, Gullbrand Björn, Nordström Kurt

Abstract excerpt

The Min system of Escherichia coli directs cell division to the mid-cell by a mechanism that involves the dynamic localization of all of its three constituent proteins, MinC, MinD and MinE. Both the Min system and the nucleoid regulate cell division negatively and strains of E. coli lacking a functional Min system can divide at nucleoid-free cell poles in addition to the nucleoid-free region between newly...
