Using the latest microscopy to rethink the model of bacterial growth and division

The cell wall is a structure surrounding bacteria and is essential for structural support, it is often a target for antibiotic treatment for this very reason.

The ‘building blocks’ of this cell wall is peptidoglycan, this is a long chain formed of sugars and amino acids that provides a structural role.

To create this incredibly important structure the cell has to coordinate the process. In S. aureus synthesis of this begins at the middle of the cell and is guided by dynamic cell wall synthesis machines.

An interesting finding of this paper is that not all peptidoglycan insertion occurs at the leading edge of the septum in this species, causing researchers to rethink the model in which they look at S. aureus cell division.

Staphylococcus is the type of bacteria which is present all along the soil and the climate of the existing soil in the world. The molecular coordination of the day is present after the cell division they form the compact the great structure.
