ParABS system in chromosome partitioning in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

After 36 and 48 hours of ParB depletion, the population of anucleate cells is quite significant (between 10.1 and 21.6%, n = 310 and n = 219, respectively), and the number of dividing cells with DNA in only one compartment also increases (between 14.4 and 9.4%, n = 310 and n = 219, respectively) ( Table 1 , Figs. 4C and D ; these counts considered only cells that conserved the typical smooth rod-shape morphology).
