摘要
Temporal and spatial regulation of cell division assures that each daughter cell receives a copy of the chromosome. Within the past year, the application of fluorescence microscopy to the cell biology of bacteria has revealed an increasing number of proteins that are localized within the bacterial cell to carry out DNA segregation and cell division. The localization of these proteins implies the existence of positional information in the cell, but how this information is established is unknown.
