In the final step in bacterial cell division, constriction of the so - called Z - ring, an annular structure that forms on the plasma membrane near the midpoint of the cell, gives rise to the two daughter cells: A research team led by Erwin Frey, who holds the Chair of Statistical and Biological Physics at LMU, has now used mathematical modelling to understand the mechanism that drives formation of the Z - ring, and in so doing have uncovered a novel class of pattern - forming mechanism in biological systems.
