New insights into cell division! We also found that while FtsZ is limiting constriction, a model where it accumulates to a threshold value cannot explain the data, consistent with our previous results using causal inference that implicated DNA replication in division control
New exciting findings on E. coli cell division: Using high throughput imaging 🔬 & stochastic modeling, we show that FtsZ—not FtsN—drives constriction at fast growth rates. Great collaboration with @arielamir.bsky.social and @KarPrathitha

Determining the rate-limiting processes for cell division in Escherichia coli - Nature Communications
The recruitment of protein FtsN to midcell is thought to be the main rate-liming process for cell division in the bacterial model E. coli. Here, Männik et al. use experiments with live bacteria as wel...
