Efficient septum formation is essential for chromosome segregation in Bacillus subtilis when SMC function is impaired
ABSTRACT Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes play conserved roles in chromosome organization, segregation, and repair in all domains of life. In Bacillus subtilis, SMC is required for the segregation of newly replicated origins. To investigate whether other proteins function with SMC in this process,...
