Figure 3

Localization of DynA, FtsZ, FloT and MreB. A-B) Growing wild type cells expressing DynA-YFP and FtsZ-CFP, white lines indicate septa between cells, overlay: FtsZ-CFP in red, DynA-YFP in green, C) cells expressing YFP-MreC, D) stationary phase cells expressing DynA-YFP, white triangles indicate membrane-proximal foci, E) dynA (ypbR) mutant cells expressing FtsZ-CFP, white triangles indicate asymmetric FtsZ rings, grey triangles large cells lacking FtsZ rings but instead containing membrane-proximal accumulations of FtsZ-CFP: white lines indicate septa between cells, F) wild type cells expressing FloT-YFP, overlay with membranes (red) and FloT-YFP (green), G) floT mutant cells expressing DynA-YFP. H) dynA mutant cells expressing FloT- YFP, time lapse with images taken every 2 s. White or grey bars 2 μm.
