Info

The production of two daughter bacteriarequires the growth and extension of the cellwall components followed by the productionof a septum (cross wall) to divide the daughterbacteria into two cells. Septum formation is initiated at the cellmembrane. The septum grows from oppositesides toward the center of the cell, causingcleavage of the daughter cells.
Chromosome replication is initiated at themembrane, and each daughter chromosome isanchored to a different portion of membrane. In some bacterial cells, the DNA associates withmesosomes. As the bacterial membrane grows, the daughterchromosomes are pulled apart. Commencement of chromosome replication alsoinitiates the process of cell division, which can bevisualized by the start of septum formation betweenthe two daughter cells.
