Phenotype of E. coli cells (C43 DE3) overexpressing FtsBLQ complex or mutants. FtsBLQ (WT) induces extensive cell filamentation after induction, while the cells overproducing FtsBLQ complexes with a mutation in FtsB or FtsL exhibit comparable cell length before and after induction. The average cell length (L) ± SD (µm) and the number of cells measured (n) are shown below the corresponding representative image. The average cell width in all cases was ∼1.3 µm. Bar, 5 μm.
