LcpA (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 constriction
