Abstract excerpt
Bacterial cell division, with a few exceptions, is driven by FtsZ through a treadmilling mechanism to remodel and constrict the rigid peptidoglycan (PG) layer. Yet different organisms may differ in the composition of the cell division complex (divisome). In the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, hetF is required for the initiation of the differentiation of heterocysts, cells specialized in...
