Document Summary

7. 2 bacterial cell cycles can be divided into three phases: cell cycle is the complete sequence of events extending from formation of a new cell through the next division. It is of intrinsic interest as a fundamental biological process. Chromosome replication and partitioning: most bacteria have a single circular chromosome, para and par b model system seems to be widespread among bacteria and also present in at least a few archaea. In e. coli, the mincde system limits z-ring formation to the center of the cell. Three proteins compose the system (minc, mind, and mine). These proteins oscillate from one end of the cell to the other (figure 7. 5). This oscillation creates high concentrations of minc at the poles, page 137where it prevents formation of the z ring; thus z-ring formation can occur only at midcell, which lacks. Mincde: once the z ring forms, the rest of the division machinery, sometimes called the divisome, is constructed.
