Figure 32-1 Comparison of cell division in three species of bacteria. Escherchia coli divides symmetrically after forming a septum in a plane marked by a ring of FtsZ (tubulin-like) and other cell division proteins. Caulobacter crescentus divides asymmetrically to give one flagellated swarmer cell and one stalked cell. Bacillus subtilis, under starvation conditions, divide to form a mother cell and a forespore. The latter is engulfed by the mother cell, which promotes its conversion to a resistant spore. From Shapiro and Losick.83 Courtesy of L. Shapiro.
