Highlights d The Bdellovibrio chromosome is polarized, with ori located near the invasive pole d The highly compacted nucleoid excludes cytosolic proteins in non-replicative cells d Replication and segregation of chromosomes are uncoupled from cell division d The centromeric protein ParB localizes at parS in a cell-cycledependent manner

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
