Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) undergoes at least two kinds of cell division: vegetative septation leading to cross-walls in the substrate mycelium; and developmentally regulated sporulation septation in aerial hyphae. By isolation and characterization of a non-sporulating ftsZ mutant, we demonstrate a difference between the two types of septation. The ftsZ17(Spo) allele gave rise to a classical white phenotype....
