Direct imaging of the circular chromosome in a live bacterium

Bacterial chromosomes are tightly packed, limiting structural analysis by imaging techniques. Here, by quantitative time-lapse single-cell imaging of widened Escherichia coli cells, Wu and Japaridze et al. show that the chromosome exhibits a ring-like torus topology and a dynamic domain structure.
