TABLE 4.

Comparison of SpoIIE-GFP localization patterns in IB509 and PMF16 cells^a

Fluorescence pattern	No. of cells showing pattern
	Wild type (PMF16)	minCD (IB509)
Midcellb	0	14
Polarc	122	114
No localizationd	14	20

^aCells were grown in DSM and harvested 2 h after the cessation of logarithmic growth. All scoring was performed with cells from several independent experiments. 

^bIncludes cells showing all midcell SpoIIE-GFP localization, including cells with both midcell and polar signals. 

^cIncludes cells showing bipolar and unipolar SpoIIE-GFP localization with or without an additional midcell signal. 

^dIncludes cells with unlocalized or no signal.
