Addiction toxin Fst has unique effects on chromosome segregation and cell division in Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2006

Patel S, Weaver K E

Abstract excerpt

The Fst toxin of the Enterococcus faecalis pAD1-encoded par addiction module functions intracellularly to kill plasmid-free segregants. Previous results had shown that Fst induction results in membrane permeabilization and cessation of macromolecular synthesis, but only after 45 min. Electron micrographs of toxin-induced cells showed no obvious membrane abnormalities but did reveal defects in nucleoid segregation...
