A biphasic growth model for cell pole elongation in mycobacteria

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Chiara Toniolo, Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven, Gaëlle Madeleine Vuaridel

Mycobacteria grow by inserting new cell wall material in discrete zones at the cell poles. This pattern implies that polar growth zones must be assembled de novo at each division, but the mechanisms that control the initiation of new pole growth are unknow ...

Single-cell studies of Mycobacterium smegmatis cell cycle using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy

Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is one of the most primordial cellular processes and is essential for life propagation. It is composed of crucial events, namely genome duplication, chromosomes segregation and membrane separation. Failure of these processes will have dramati ...

Division site selection linked to inherited cell surface wave troughs in mycobacteria

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is tightly controlled in space and time to maintain cell size and ploidy within narrow bounds. In bacteria, the canonical Minicell (Min) and nucleoid occlusion (Noc) systems together ensure that division is restricted to midcell after complet ...
