At least 100 cells were used to quantify the cell length and area for each strain.
At least 30 cells were used to quantify the constriction rates for each strain.
Relative constriction position for at least 40 cells is shown. A value of 0 corresponds to the new pole, 0.5 corresponds to mid-cell, and a value of 1 corresponds to the old pole.
ND – not determined.
