Fig. 1

Cell shape (rod or cocci) and sporulation ability are indicated. The ability to form spores was inferred by the presence of broadly conserved sporulation-specific genes spo0A and spoIIE in the genome26. All SEDS homologs that cluster with divisome-associated FtsW encoding genes are shown for each organism (Supplementary Fig. 2). For genome accession numbers, coordinates, and taxonomy information, see Supplementary Data 1. The inset tree shows phylogenetic relationships and the colored circles highlight the presence of sporulation genes (black), and ftsW/spoVE within (orange) and outside (green) the dcw cluster. For analyses of the full dataset, see Supplementary Fig. 1.
