Fig. 5From: Enterococcus hirae LcpA (Psr), a new peptidoglycan-binding protein localized at the division siteLcpA (a) and PBP5 (b) immunolocalization in E. hirae cells. Cells were stained for DNA with DAPI (blue), peptidoglycan synthesis regions with fluorescent vancomycin (green), LcpA with anti-LcpA (a) or PBP5 with anti-PBP5 (b) primary antibodies and Cy3-conjugated secondary antibodies (red). The upper panels show cells at an early division stage, as indicated by the presence of a single nucleoid and no apparent sign of midcell constriction. The lower panels show cells at a later stage of division, as indicated by the presence of a double nucleoid and a clear sign of midcell constrictionBack to article page
