A green light for the bacterial cytoskeleton

W Margolin. Trends Microbiol. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

Improved fluorescence techniques for visualizing proteins in whole bacterial cells have resulted in recent breakthroughs in our understanding of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis in prokaryotes. The dynamics and localization of some of these proteins reveal surprisingly cytoskeletal-like behavior.
