| Abstract | IntroductionThe nucleoid and cell envelope are two unique macromolecules that define a bacterium. To ensure that the essential genetic information is carried faithfully from one generation to the next their duplications must be coupled. Research dating back more than half a century established that this is realized at the level of replication-initiation and cell division. These seminal investigations demonstrated that cell size determines when replication starts and that, in turn, the progress in replication determines when cell division processes occur. Moreover, cell division was later established to be spatially controlled by the structure and position of the nucleoid. Despite extensive research over the past 60 years, detailed understanding on how these spatio-temporal couplings are realized at the molecular level is yet to emerge. The aim in creating this e-book has been to bring together scientists from different backgrounds spanning biology, chemistry and physics to address these fundamental mechanisms in a bacterial cell. The book starts with a historical overview of the research that has established the field. It then advances through series of reviews and research articles devoted to the nucleoid, cell envelope, and their temporary hyper-structures, the orisome, replisome and divisome. Finally, coupling between them is discussed in the last set of contributions.2. Historical OverviewThe first evidence of coupling between duplications of the bacterial cell env... |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
