Probing bacterial cell wall growth by tracing wall-anchored protein complexes

Dynamic cell wall assembly is key to cell shape maintenance during bacterial growth. Here, the authors present a method that allows high-resolution analysis of active and inert zones of cell wall growth during bacterial elongation. They also formulate a mathematical model to predict the partitioning...

Description
Summary:Dynamic cell wall assembly is key to cell shape maintenance during bacterial growth. Here, the authors present a method that allows high-resolution analysis of active and inert zones of cell wall growth during bacterial elongation. They also formulate a mathematical model to predict the partitioning of cell wall-anchored proteins following cell division.
