Abstract
Recent work has dramatically changed our view of chromosome segregation in bacteria. Rather than being a passive process, it involves rapid movement of parts of the circular chromosome. Several genes involved in chromosome segregation have been identified, and the analysis of their functions and intracellular localization are beginning to shed light on the mechanisms that ensure efficient chromosome segregation.Mesh:
