Subcompartmentalization by cross-membranes during early growth of Streptomyces hyphae
Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces form cellular filaments (hyphae) in which sporadic peptidoglycan cell walls separate multinucleate compartments. Here, Yagüe et al. show that young hyphae are further compartmentalized by cross-membranes lacking detectable peptidoglycan.
