Extended Data Figure S14. RipA-depleted cells form chains of cells that grow only at the free cell poles.

Extended Data Figure S14

The two free (outermost) cell poles elongate and new septa continue to form, but failure of septated sibling cells to undergo cleavage, due to depletion of RipA, results in a cell-chaining phenotype. Growth occurs mainly at the free cell poles at the two extremeties of a chain and occasionally at lateral budding locations (cf. 0 minutes and 1 hour 35 minutes). Grey dashed lines indicate the outline of the chain of cells. White dashed lines mark the positions of the free cell poles at 0 minutes.
