Phenotypes of a mutant

• a ''[gene|8BF7EB539B53D75BD30BD30ABF27106D6A0B030B|ftsE]'' mutation is synthetically lethal with a ''[gene|321F248C22D7283C0F3323F1F4069E36F8D7FE6C|lytE]'' mutation (due to a lack of autolysin activity) [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
• shorter, fatter cells, this can be rescued by addition of Mg(2+) [Pubmed|23869552,23855774]
• reduced growth rate, especially at low Mg(2+) concentrations [Pubmed|23869552]
