Treadmilling by FtsZ Filaments Drives Peptidoglycan Synthesis and Bacterial Cell Division

The mechanism by which bacteria divide is not well understood. Cell division is mediated by filaments of FtsZ and FtsA (FtsAZ) that recruit septal peptidoglycan synthesizing enzymes to the division site. To understand how these components coordinate to divide cells, we visualized their movements rel...
