Tol-Pal System and Rgs Proteins Interact to Promote Unipolar Growth and Cell Division in Sinorhizobium meliloti
ABSTRACT Sinorhizobium meliloti is an alphaproteobacterium belonging to the Rhizobiales.Bacteria from this order elongate their cell wall at the new cell pole, generated by cell division.Screening for protein interaction partners of the previously characterized polar growth factors RgsP and RgsM, we identified the inner membrane components of the T
