The PomXYZ Proteins Self-Organize on the Bacterial Nucleoid to Stimulate Cell Division
Dominik Schumacher, Silke Bergeler, Andrea Harms +4
Cell division site positioning is precisely regulated to generate correctly sized and shaped daughters. We uncover a novel strategy to position the FtsZ cytokinetic ring at midcell…
Pattern formation mechanisms in motility mutants of Myxococcus xanthus
Joern Starruss, Fernando Peruani, Vladimir Jakovljevic +3
Formation of spatial patterns of cells is a recurring theme in biology and often depends on regulated cell motility. Motility of M. xanthus depends on two motility machineries: the…
Collective motion and nonequilibrium cluster formation in colonies of gliding bacteria
Fernando Peruani, Joern Starruss, Vladimir Jakovljevic +3
We characterize cell motion in experiments and show that the transition to collective motion in colonies of gliding bacterial cells confined to a monolayer appears through the orga…
