Schematic presentation of different chemical and physical cues for protein localization into Bacillus subtilis membranes. (A) Presentation of three types of lipid domains—lipid rafts, cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) domains; (B) Negative curvatures membrane recognized by DivIVA. The highest negative curvature is near the forming septum, marked in green and moderate negative curvatures are at the poles, marked in yellow; (C) The positive curvature membrane, recognized by SpoVM, is located at the outer surface of the forespore in sporulating B. subtilis, marked in blue; (D) Asymmetrical de novo lipid synthesis in the sporulation septum from the mother cell side.
