Binary fission |
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells |
Daughter cells |
|
|
Growth |
In microbiology, growth is defined as an increase in the number of cells |
|
|
|
Ftz rings |
A cell division protein that divides the nucleoloid into during binary fission |
|
|
|
Origin |
The site at which replication starts. It is located close to the Binding site of the chromosome to the plasma membrane |
|
|
|
Chromosome location |
Attached to the cell membrane at the midpoint |
|
|
|
Divisome |
Cell-division apparatus |
|
|
|
Fts |
Filamentous temperature sensitive proteins |
|
|
|
FtsA |
Helps connect FtZ ring to the cytoplasm membrane. Located in the cell membrane |
|
|
|
FtsA |
Divisome also contains ftsA proteins needed for peptidoglycan formation |
|
|
|
When does DNA replication and elongation occur? |
Before the division is even formed |
|
|
|
Minproteins |
Ensure divisome only form at the centre |
|
|
|
Min D and C |
Forms spiral structures and oscillates from pole to pole. Helps localize MinC in cell cytoplasm. They Dwell in the poles of the cell and inhibit formation of FtZ ring |
|
|
|
MinE |
Oscillates from pole to pole |
|
|
|
Septum |
Orchestrates the synthesis of new cytoplasm membrane and cell wall material |
|
