Negative spatial regulation of Z ring positioning in E. coli by the Min system. Shown are Min oscillations (dark gradients), dynamics of FtsZ (orange spheres) and eventual assembly as a Z ring at the midpoint of a wild-type cell through the process of cell division and partitioning of the Min system to daughter cells. Nucleoids are depicted as blue ovals; passage of time in seconds is represented by an arrow, passage of time in minutes by a double arrow.
