Absence of the Min System Does Not Cause Major Cell Division Defects in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

In A. tumefaciens, the essential FtsZ protein is located at the growth pole before shifting to the mid-cell right before division. Loss of FtsZ causes a halt in cell separation and lysis of cells. To understand how FtsZ polymerization is regulated to properly localize the FtsZ ring at the mid-cell,...
