FtsZ filaments are on average 16 nm away from the membrane. Density profiles through the cell wall of a cell overexpressing FtsZG109S in the region of an extended division site containing FtsZ filaments (lower curve) and a random, unconstricted region of one NA1000 cell body not containing FtsZ as a control (top curve). The horizontal axis is the distance either outside (negative numbers) or inside (positive numbers) the inner membrane. The surface layer (SL), outer membrane (OM), peptidoglycan (PG), inner membrane (IM), and FtsZ filament layers can be resolved.
