Effect of Antimicrobial Agents on MinD Protein Oscillations in Escherichia coli
The Min protein system regulates cell division in the bacterium Escherichia coli. The protein MinD undergoes a pole-to-pole oscillation, antagonizing formation of the division septum at the cell poles, thereby confining the septum formation to the mid-cell. The MinD oscillation period is 40 s at roo...
