Chromosome organization by a conserved condensin-ParB system in the actinobacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum

The regulation of higher-order chromosome folding and segregation in bacteria is poorly understood. Here, Böhm et al. provide insights into the roles of DNA partitioning protein ParB and SMC condensin complexes in Corynebacterium glutamicum.
