Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
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 ...
In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers assessed a novel method for bacterial cell segmentation named Omnipose. Breakthroughs in microscopy are extremely promising for enabling ...
