Transient inhibition of cell division in competent pneumococcal cells results from deceleration of the septal peptidoglycan complex

2024-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial cells are known to produce inhibitors of cell division in response to stress responses and developmental programs. Knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms remains however largely limited. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of transient cell division inhibition observed during the development of competence for transformation in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae . In this spec...
