    Cell wall synthesis and remodelling dynamics determine division site architecture and cell shape in Escherichia coli

    The bacterial division apparatus catalyses the synthesis and remodelling of septal peptidoglycan (sPG) to build the cell wall layer that fortifies the daughter cell poles. Understanding of this essential proce...
