Caption

Montage of a B. subtilis cell with moving patches of Mbl-GFP. Colors represent overlay of images taken by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM, red), epifluorescence (green) and transmitted light (blue, indicates cell outline). Images were taken every 2 s, with two exemplary patches that move in opposite orientation indicated by open circles. This image relates to the paper by Dr. Dominguez-Escobar. This image relates to an article that appeared in the June 2, 2011, issue of Science Express, published by AAAS. The study, by J. Domínguez-Escobar of Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany, and colleagues was titled, "Processive Movement of MreB-Associated Cell Wall Biosynthetic Complexes in Bacteria."
