DivIVA Regulates Its Expression and the Orientation of New Septum Growth in Deinococcus radiodurans.

Abstract excerpt

In rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria, FtsZ localization at midcell position is regulated by the gradient of MinCDE complex across the poles. In round-shaped bacteria, which lack predefined poles, the next plane of cell division is perpendicular to the previous plane, and determination of the FtsZ assembly site is still intriguing. Deinococcus radiodurans, a coccus bacterium, is characterized by its extraordinary...
