Correlation of stage of engulfment with SpoIIIE-GFP localization. Membrane morphology: class A, polar septation (Fig. 1C, arrow 1); class B, <50% forespore engulfment, membranes have migrated <50% around the forespore chromosome; class C, >50% forespore engulfment (Fig. 2A, arrow 2); class D, apparently engulfed but not fused (Fig. 2A, arrow 3); and class E, engulfed and fused (Fig. 2A, arrow 4). Localization of SpoIIIE-GFP (green; chromosomes in black): I, at polar septum; II, <50% around the forespore; III, >50% around the forespore; IV, localized to the cell pole; and V, delocalized. The values in the table represent the percentage of sporangia at a given stage of engulfment showing the indicated pattern of SpoIIIE-GFP localization. Those in boldface reflect the predominant SpoIIIE-GFP localization pattern(s) for each stage of engulfment.
