Conflicts between the DNA replication and repair machineries promote cell death in Gram-positive bacteria
Cellular proliferation relies on the successful coordination and completion of genome replication and segregation. To help achieve this, many bacteria utilize regulatory pathways that ensure DNA repli...

Phylogenomic tree showing the relationship between strain PLA-1-18T and the most closely related type strains obtained using the TYGS platform (https://tygs.dsmz.de/). The branch lengths are scaled in terms of the GBDP distance formula d5. The tree was inferred with FastME 2.1.6.1 from GBDP distances calculated from genome sequences.
