Chlamydial MreB Directs Cell Division and Peptidoglycan Synthesis in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content> in the Absence of FtsZ Activity
ABSTRACT Cell division is the ultimate process for the propagation of bacteria, and FtsZ is an essential protein used by nearly all bacteria for this function. Chlamydiae belong to a small group of bacteria that lack the universal cell division protein FtsZ but still divide by binary fission. Chlamy...
