Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the ftsZ gene is thought to be an essential cell division gene. Several dominant mutations that make lon mutant cells refractory to the cell division inhibitor SulA, sulB9, sulB25, and sfiB114, have been mapped to the ftsZ gene. DNA sequence analysis of these mutations and th...
