High-throughput sequencing of sorted expression libraries reveals inhibitors of bacterial cell division

Abstract Background Bacterial filamentation occurs when rod-shaped bacteria grow without dividing. To identify genetically encoded inhibitors of division that promote filamentation, we used cell sorting flow cytometry to enrich filamentous clones from an inducible expression library, and then identi...
