Bacterial partition complexes segregate within the volume of the nucleoid

In most bacteria and archaea, a broadly conserved mitotic-like apparatus assures the inheritance of duplicated genetic material before cell division. Here, the authors use super-resolution microscopies to dissect the activities required for proper DNA segregation through the nucleoid interior.
