Of the two
different daughter cells generated by Caulobacter at each cell division only one is equipped with the capsule.
In fact, as with eukaryotic organisms, division of Caulobacter cells generates two
different daughter cells, which can be easily separated.

Now a UC Santa Barbara researcher has added to that body of knowledge by determining how stem
cells produce
different types of «
daughter»
cells in Drosophila (fruit flies).
But how the production of
daughter cells from the
different stem
cell types is coordinated within a single niche is virtually unknown.
This striking finding shows that regulation of cytokinesis is how this niche coordinately produces
daughter cells from
different stem
cell types.
The body has billions of B
cells, each one and its
daughter cells recognize something
different, so very few of which can recognize the structure of any given germ.
An asymmetric
cell division in non-stem
cells can instead result in two
daughter cells with very
different fates, such as one large
cell that reinitiates
cell division prematurely and a much smaller
cell that either grows very slowly or dies.
This division can be oriented,
daughter cells can be pushed inside or outside as result of the mitotic spindle orientation, and asymmetric,
daughter cells can acquire distinct components giving them
different contractile properties.
