Catching an invader

This month’s Under the Lens discusses the use of single-molecule tracking in bacteria to study how CRISPR–Cas systems accurately and efficiently identify specific DNA sequences within viruses and other mobile genetic elements, thereby preventing their invasion.

MapZ marks the division sites and positions FtsZ rings in Streptococcus pneumoniae

A new mechanism is identified for correct placement of the division machinery in Streptococcus pneumoniae that relies on the novel factor MapZ to form ring structures at the cell equator; these structures move apart as the cell elongates, acting as permanent markers of division sites.

Organization and segregation of bacterial chromosomes

Bacterial chromosomes were originally thought to be unstructured and largely unconstrained, but recent advances have supplemented historical research to reveal a highly structured and dynamic chromosome organization. This Review discusses our latest understanding of bacterial chromosome organization, including how the simultaneous nature of DNA replication and chromosome segregation in bacteria necessitates intricate interplay between these processes.
