Abstract excerpt
We examined the pattern of FtsZ localization in a Bacillus subtilis minCD mutant. When grown in minimal medium, the majority (approximately 89%) of the minCD mutant cells with an FtsZ ring had a single, medially positioned FtsZ ring. These results indicate that genes in addition to minCD function to restrict the number and position of FtsZ rings. When grown in rich medium, greater than 50% of the minCD mutant...
