Cells have to erect and sustain an organized and dynamically adaptable structure for an
efficient mode of operation that allows drastic morphological changes during cell growth and …

Similar to other bacteria, cyanobacteria exist in a wide-ranging diversity of shapes and sizes.
However, three general shapes are observed most frequently: spherical, rod and spiral …

The regulation of cellular dimension is important for the function and survival of cells.
Cellular dimensions, such as size and shape, are regulated throughout the life cycle of …

Multiseriate and true‐branching cyanobacteria are at the peak of prokaryotic morphological
complexity. However, little is known about the mechanisms governing multiplanar cell …

This review summarizes what is known regarding cell division in cyanobacteria, the
fascinating microorganisms that are logically attracting a growing attention in various areas …

Bacterial cells mostly divide symmetrically. In the filamentous, multicellular cyanobacterium
Anabaena, cell-division planes are aligned vertically relative to the long axis of every single …

Using a bacterial two‐hybrid system and a combination of in vivo and in vitro assays that
take advantage of the green fluorescent reporter protein (GFP), we have investigated the …

We pursued the characterization of the divisome of the spherical‐celled cyanobacterium
Synechocystis PCC6803, through deletion, site‐directed mutagenesis, GFP tagging, two …

Bacterial cell division is a highly co-ordinated and fine-tuned process. In the unicellular
cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942, inactivating mutations in the ftn2 and …

Polymerizing and filament‐forming proteins are instrumental for numerous cellular
processes such as cell division and growth. Their function in stabilization and localization of …
