Genetic analysis of the loop between helix H1 and sheet S2 of the cell division protein FtsZ in Streptomyces venezuelae
Popular science summary: How do bacteria divide? Cell division is an absolute requirement for proliferation of all bacteria and results in the bacterium being split into two by a septum. FtsZ is a protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division. In this project, one part of the FtsZ protein was investigated with genetic methods to understand how it affects the division process. Previou
