Membrane-murein attachment at the leading edge of the division septum: a second membrane-murein structure associated with morphogenesis of the gram-negative bacterial division septum.

ABSTRACT

Electron microscopy of plasmolyzed cells of Salmonella typhimurium revealed a continuous zone of membrane-murein attachment at the leading edge of the division septum at all stages of septal invagination. The membrane-murein attachment site had a characteristic ultrastructural appearance and remained as a bacterial birth scar at the new pole of each of the two daughter cells after cell separation. The continuous zone of membrane-murein attachment at the leading septal edge represents the second organelle based on a topologically ordered domain of membrane-murein adhesion to be described at the site of cell division.
