Group members Technical data Links Division takes place once growth has doubled all the cellular components Mass, DNA and every single component of the cell increases during growth. Once duplication of all of them is achieved the cell is ready for division.
Septation has to be initiated and finalised for division to be effective.
The building blocks of the septum should be produced to allow their assembly not only at the correct place, but also at the correct time. The dcw cluster is conserved in many bacteria. The expression of genes in the dcw cluster is regulated by a complex set of signals. The dcw cluster contains many promoters and no transcriptional terminator. It would be possible that a single comprehensive transcript could represent the whole message of the cluster.
