Recent investigation of some old cell division mutants of E. coli suggests that genes playing central roles in the regulation of division have been identified. The results suggest that cell division is triggered when a critical level of a single protein, FtsZ, is attained. The activity of this protein is channelled to the new division site by the activity of the min locus, which blocks access to old sites....
