Functional Characterization of the Cell Division Gene Cluster of the Wall-less Bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium

It is well-established that FtsZ drives peptidoglycan synthesis at the division site in walled bacteria. However, the function and conservation of FtsZ in wall-less prokaryotes such as mycoplasmas are less clear. In the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium, the cell division gene cluster i...
