Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The timing of the cell division in Escherichia coli is highly regulated, but its mechanism has not been identified. Previously we have found that the cfcA1 mutation uncouples DNA replication and cell division and elevates the frequency of cell division. We further analysed the structure and the role of the cfc genes of cfcA11, a derivative of cfcA1, and another cfc mutant, cfcB1. RESULTS: The cfc...
