Mutations in the FtsZ C-terminal domain impair FtsZ function in vivo.

<p>FtsZ mutant proteins were tested for function in vivo by comparing CFUs of <i>ftsZ84</i> cells expressing FtsZ mutant proteins after incubation in liquid culture at the restrictive temperature (42°C) for 4 hours as described in <i>Experimental Procedures</i>. Data from 3 replicates are presented as mean ± SEM.
