Coordination of peptidoglycan synthesis and outer membrane constriction during Escherichia coli cell division

Coordination of peptidoglycan synthesis and outer membrane constriction during Escherichia coli cell division

To maintain cellular structure and integrity during division, Gram-negative bacteria must carefully coordinate constriction of a tripartite cell envelope of inner membrane, peptidoglycan (PG), and outer membrane (OM). It has remained enigmatic how this is accomplished. Here, we show that envelope ma...
