Unexpected twist to the Z ring
Abstract
Development in Bacillus subtilis involves a switch in the location of the cytokinetic Z ring from midcell to the pole. Time lapse photography of an FtsZ-GFP fusion reveals that this switch involves a spiral intermediate and allows identification of the specific sporulation functions involved.
