Abstract excerpt
Deletion of ftsK results in the inhibition of cell division, but this inhibition can be reversed by a plasmid carrying only the first approximately 17% of ftsK. The division block can be suppressed in most mutants by deletion of dacA, which codes for the D-alanine:D-alanine carboxypeptidase PBP5,...
