Chromosome segregation dynamics during the cell cycle of Staphylococcus aureus

Adrian Izquierdo-Martinez, Simon Schäper, António D. Brito, Qin Liao, Coralie Tesseur, Moritz Sorg, Daniela S. Botinas, Xindan Wang, Mariana G. Pinho

This study investigates chromosome segregation dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus using FROS, revealing uncoupling between cell cycle and replication, and identifying key roles for SMC-ScpAB and other proteins in chromosome organization.
