Characterization of ftsZ mutations that render Bacillus subtilis resistant to MinC.

Characterization of ftsZ mutations that render Bacillus subtilis resistant to MinC.

Cell division in Bacillus subtilis occurs precisely at midcell. Positional control of cell division is exerted by two mechanisms: nucleoid occlusion, through Noc, which prevents division through nucleoids, and the Min system, where the combined action of the MinC, D and J proteins prevents formation...
