Mid-cell migration of the chromosomal terminus is coupled to origin segregation in Escherichia coli
Abstract Bacterial chromosomes are dynamically and spatially organised within cells. In slow-growing Escherichia coli, the chromosomal terminus is initially located at the new pole and must therefore migrate to midcell during replication to reproduce the same pattern in the daughter cells. Here, we...
