Role of the sfiA-dependent cell division regulation system in Escherichia coli.
Several authors have suggested that the SOS-associated (sfiA-dependent) system of division inhibition, normally induced by perturbations of DNA replication, also regulates steady-state (unperturbed) cell division. The present work shows that mean cell mass is identical in sfiA+ and sfiA mutant cultures during steady-state growth, that mass adjustment is identical after shift up, that sfiA expression is not induced by shift up, and that a sfiA mutation does not cause aberrant chromosome segregation.
