  • essential [Pubmed|28189581]
  • non-viable in the presence of low Mg(2 )
  • readily accumulate ''[gene|D6C2B8ABBBD1F9F2D36C34098D5B811A15C60D3B|rsgI]'' suppressor mutants [Pubmed|19114499]

  • [SW|Localization]

  • during logarithmic growth, [protein|6ED386D49F973C1F6B1076974F54275DD583C9D3|Mbl] forms discrete patches that move processively along peripheral tracks perpendicular to the cell axis [Pubmed|21636744]
  • forms transverse bands as cells enter the stationary phase [Pubmed|21636744]
  • close to the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane [Pubmed|16950129]
  • reports on helical structures formed by Mbl [Pubmed|16950129,20566861] seem to be misinterpretation of data [Pubmed|21636744]
  • Mbl patch speed depends on the growth rate, the faster growth, the higher the patch speed [pubmed|28589952]
