Regulation of cell division in Caulobacter crescentus
Research report (imported) 2008 - Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology
Summary
Recent advances in the study of bacterial cell biology have demonstrated that bacteria use complex regulatory mechanisms to ensure proper temporal and spatial regulation of cellular processes. In this article, the complexity of such systems is illustrated by the molecular pathway that coordinates chromosome segregation with cell division in Caulobacter crescentus.
