Abstract excerpt
The hetero-oligomeric FlhD/FlhC complex is a global regulator of transcription in Escherichia coli. FlhD alone, independent of FlhC, has also been reported to control when E. coli cells stop dividing and enter the stationary phase. This work is frequently cited as evidence that FlhD regulates cell division; however, our data indicate that this is not the case. The results presented here show that the previously...
