Abstract excerpt
Bacterial cell division is a highly co-ordinated and fine-tuned process. In the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942, inactivating mutations in the ftn2 and ftn6 genes block cell division and result in a phenotype with extensively elongated cells. In order to establish the pleiotropic responses induced and cellular processes affected by blocked cell division, the proteomes of wild-type and...
