Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

FtsZ and ZapA protein complex plays an important role in bacterial cell division. However, the structure of this complex was elusive. In this study, the researchers focused on the interaction of the ...

FtsZ, a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein, plays an essential role in bacterial cytokinesis by assembling into a dynamic ring‐like structure at the future division site. Its pivotal function in ...

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii splitting into multiple cells at once, a rare kind of cell division called multiple fission. C. matruchotii is one of the most common bacteria ...
