Simulations suggest a constrictive force is required for Gram-negative bacterial cell division

L. T. Nguyen, C. M. Oikonomou, H. J. Ding, M. Kaplan, Q. Yao, Y.-W. Chang, M. Beeby, G. J. Jensen

The paper uses simulations to show that a constrictive force is needed for Gram-negative bacterial cell division, as cell wall remodeling alone is insufficient.
