DNA replication, segregation and cell division are vital processes and require an interplay of multiple proteins. These processes are highly conserved across bacteria yet similar or dissimilar progeny are produced after cell division. This review describes the bacterial cell division in considerable detail. This includes studies on model microorganisms which produce similar progeny such as Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae, and dissimilar progeny such as sporulating Bacillus subtilis, Actinobacteria, Caulobacter crescentus etc. The mechanism of symmetric and asymmetric cell division and its regulation has also been discussed.

细菌细胞分裂如何产生相似或不同的细胞？

DNA复制，分离和细胞分裂是至关重要的过程，需要多种蛋白质的相互作用。这些过程在细菌中高度保守，但细胞分裂后会产生相似或相异的后代。这篇评论非常详细地描述了细菌细胞的分裂。这包括对产生相似后代的模型微生物的研究，例如大肠杆菌和霍乱弧菌，以及产生后代的不同微生物，例如形成枯草芽孢杆菌，放线杆菌，新月形杆菌等。还讨论了对称和不对称细胞分裂的机制及其调控。
