Division site positioning in bacteria: one size does not fit all.

Division site positioning in bacteria: one size does not fit all.

Spatial regulation of cell division in bacteria has been a focus of research for decades. It has been well studied in two model rod-shaped organisms, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, with the general belief that division site positioning occurs as a result of the combination of two negative r...
