    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacterial cell cycle research
    • Molecular biology

    Background:

    • Understanding bacterial chromosome replication is crucial for cell division.
    • Previous models of slow-growing bacteria like M. phlei lack precise replication initiation data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To accurately determine the initial replication region of the M. phlei chromosome.
    • To construct a detailed replication map for M. phlei.
    • To propose a cell cycle scheme based on replication timing.

    Main Methods:

    • Sequential mutagenesis in synchronous M. phlei populations.
    • Analysis of gene replication timing (bac, met, ile) under normal and nalidixic acid-inhibited conditions.
    • Calculation of cell cycle interval ratios (C and D).

    Main Results:

    • The initial chromosome replication start in M. phlei precedes the replication of the gene 'ile' by 15 minutes.
    • Cell cycle intervals C and D are generation time-dependent and extend independently.
    • The ratio C/(C + D) is 0.56, with interval D being 0.76 times the duration of interval C (C:D ratio of 1.3:1.0).

    Conclusions:

    • A novel cell cycle scheme for M. phlei was proposed based on precise replication mapping.
    • The findings suggest specific relationships between chromosome replication and cell division in slow-growing bacteria.
    • This research provides a foundation for further studies on bacterial growth and division regulation.
