The bacterial cell cycle relies on the coordinated and dynamic interactions between division proteins and those involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis. However, visualizing these interactions in viv...

Research on chromosome organization and cell cycle progression in spherical bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited and fragmented. In this study, we established a working model ...

Registration and abstract submission open on January 15th, 2025.The organizers will select the final list of participants based on abstract submission, particularly for young scientist, and the applic...

Single-molecule imaging reveals that peptidoglycan synthesis and synthase activity, rather than FtsZ treadmilling, are rate limiting and drive septum constriction in Staphylococcus aureus.

The objective of this EMBO Workshop is to discuss advances in prokaryotic cell division. Most archaea and bacteria divide using a ring-structure formed by the tubulin homologue FtsZ, the Z-ring. Rese�...
