An oscillating Min system in Bacillus subtilis influences asymmetrical septation during sporulation
The Min system plays an important role in ensuring that cell division occurs at mid-cell in rod-shaped bacteria. In Escherichia coli, pole-to-pole oscillation of the Min proteins specifically inhibits polar septation. This system also prevents polar division in Bacillus subtilis during vegetative gr...
