Abstract excerpt
Development of the Escherichia coli cell division site was studied in wild-type cells and in non-septate filaments of ftsZnull and ftsZTs mutant cells. Localized regions of plasmolysis were used as markers for the positions of annular structures that are thought to be related to the periseptal annuli that flank the ingrowing septum during cytokinesis. The results show that these structures are localized at...
