In the spherical cells of Escherichia coli rodA mutants, division is initiated at a single point, from which a furrow extends progressively around the cell. Using "giant" rodA ftsA cells, we confirmed that each new division furrow is initiated at the midpoint of the previous division plane and runs perpendicular to it.
在大肠杆菌rodA突变体的球形细胞中,细胞分裂从单个点开始,然后一条沟围绕细胞逐渐延伸。利用“巨型”rodA ftsA细胞,我们证实每个新的分裂沟都在前一个分裂平面的中点开始,并与其垂直延伸。
