Abstract excerpt
Chemoreceptors are localized at the cell poles of Escherichia coli and other rod-shaped bacteria. Over the years, different mechanisms have been put forward to explain this polar localization, including stochastic clustering, membrane curvature-driven localization, interactions with the Tol-Pal complex, and nucleoid exclusion. To evaluate these mechanisms, we monitored the cellular localization of the aspartate...
