Fast Mechanically Driven Daughter Cell Separation Is Widespread in <italic toggle="yes">Actinobacteria</italic>

ABSTRACT Dividing cells of the coccoid Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus undergo extremely rapid (millisecond) daughter cell separation (DCS) driven by mechanical crack propagation, a strategy that is very distinct from the gradual, enzymatically driven cell wall remodeling process that...
