Biogenesis of cell division sites in ftsA and ftsZ filaments.

Research in microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Cook W R, Rothfield L I

Abstract excerpt

The development of nascent cell division sites was studied in Escherichia coli strains containing ftsAts and ftsZts mutations in which septal development is arrested after shift to the restrictive temperature. Division sites were studied by measuring positions of plasmolysis bays, a visible marker for periseptal annuli. Annuli are circumferential zones of membrane adhesion which represent the earliest known...
