Phenotypes of a mutant

• prevents bulging of the cells when grown at low Mg(2 ) concentrations, suppresses the lethal effect of a ''[gene|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|mreB]'' mutation [Pubmed|19192185]
• deletion of ''ponA'' restores growth and normal shape of a ''[gene|7150BABA5086D5E2EB8102E4901A216F43576282|glmR]'' mutant on gluconeogenic carbon sources [Pubmed|21320184]

[SW|Localization]

• membrane associated [Pubmed|18763711]
• localizes to the spore septum during sporulation [Pubmed|15758244,15262952]
• localizes to the vegetative septum [Pubmed|15262952], this depends on [protein|7150BABA5086D5E2EB8102E4901A216F43576282|GlmR] [Pubmed|21320184]
