Nucleoid organization in exponentially growing D. radiodurans. a Array of the representative shapes of D. radiodurans nucleoids stained with the DNA dye Syto9. Cell membranes were stained with Nile Red. In each box, the representative shape is seen in the upper cell of the diad. In the case of tetrads, the representative shape is the cell marked with an asterisk. Scale: 2 µm. b Snapshot of the on-scale simulated reconstitution of the changes in cell shape and nucleoid structure occurring during the D. radiodurans cell cycle, illustrating the tight coordination of nucleoid rearrangements with septal growth (Supplementary Movie 4). Scale bar: 1 µm. c Distribution of the various nucleoid morphologies observed as a function of the phases of the cell cycle (N = 232 nucleoids; N > 26 for each phase).
