Fig 3. Segregation of RecN foci during vegetative cell division.

Fig 3

(A) The method used to quantify the relative distance between foci along the cell division axis. In the formula, “a” means a cell inheriting the original RecN focus after division; “b” means a cell with both an original and a newborn RecN focus. Photographs were captured by using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope. Cells were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars correspond to 1 μm. (B) Cell number distribution obtained according to the relative distance. (C) Original and newborn RecN foci usually were nearly symmetrically distributed along the cell division axis. Photograph by using a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope, in the fluorescence and bright fields. Scale bars correspond to 1 μm.
