In Situ Probing of Newly Synthesized Peptidoglycan in Live Bacteria with Fluorescent D-Amino Acids†

TL;DR: Tracking a bug's life: Peptidoglycan (PG) of diverse bacteria is labeled by exploiting the tolerance of cells for incorporating different non-natural D-amino acids, thereby enabling fine spatiotemporal tracking of cell-wall dynamics in phylogenetically and morphologically diverse bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treadmilling by FtsZ filaments drives peptidoglycan synthesis and bacterial cell division

TL;DR: To understand how these components coordinate to divide cells, visualized their movements relative to the dynamics of cell wall synthesis during cytokinesis and found that the division septum was built at discrete sites that moved around the division plane.
