Simplified cartoons of the patterns of chromosome arrangements in bacterial cells. (Upper) ori-ter and left-ori-right organization in cells with one chromosome and with two completed chromosomes before cell division. The left and right chromosome arms are blue and red, respectively, and ori and ter are yellow and green circles, respectively. (Lower) The alternating choreography of ori-ter and left-ori-right during a B. subtilis cell cycle.
