A gradient in MinCD complex concentration ensures that this process begins correctly, while a fifty-five carbon alcohol is required to prevent autolysis near the end of this process. This process begins as ZipA anchors a polymerized form of FtsZ to form the Z ring. Cephalosporins and beta-lactams work by inhibiting PBPs, proteins that facilitate peptidoglycan cross-linking to form cell walls at the end of this process. Unlike a similar process in eukaryotes, it does not

Cephalosporins and beta-lactams work by inhibiting PBPs, proteins that facilitate peptidoglycan cross-linking to form cell walls at the end of this process. Unlike a similar process in eukaryotes, it does not require a spindle, and steps prior to this process include cell elongation and replication of circular DNA. For 10 points, name this common mode of bacterial replication, in which a cell simply splits in half.
