ParABS system in chromosome partitioning in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.
Chromosome segregation is an essential cellular function in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.The ParABS system is a fundamental player for a mitosis-like process in chromosome partitioning in many bacterial species.This work shows that the social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus also uses the ParABS system for chromosome Weymouth Bridle Double Bridle N
