Fig. 3

ftsZ84* suppressor mutations restore FtsZ ring formation to varying degrees under nonpermissive conditions. Representative images of cells grown under (a) permissive conditions or (b) nonpermissive conditions and labeled for cell wall and FtsZ. Arrowheads indicate FtsZ rings. Bar = 5 μm. The length per ring (L/R) ratio was calculated by dividing the total length of all cells by the number of FtsZ rings counted. Average and standard deviation of 3 biological replicates is shown below each image
