Isolation and characterization of ftsZ alleles that affect septal morphology.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1992

Bi E, Lutkenhaus J

Abstract excerpt

The ftsZ gene encodes an essential cell division protein that specifically localizes to the septum of dividing cells. In this study we characterized the effects of the ftsZ2(Rsa) mutation on cell physiology. We found that this mutation caused an altered cell morphology that included minicell formation and an increased average cell length. In addition, this mutation caused a temperature-dependent effect on cell...
