Abstract excerpt
Corynebacterium glutamicum is known to perform a unique form of cell division called post-fission snapping division. In order to investigate the mechanism of cell division of this bacterium, we isolated temperature-sensitive mutants from C. glutamicum wild-type strain ATCC 31831, and found that one of them, M45, produced high frequencies of mini-cells with no nucleoids. Cell pairs composed of an elongated cell,...
