Nucleoid Occlusion

Nucleoid Occlusion is a bacterial cell cycle regulatory mechanism that prevents cell division by inhibiting the assembly of the FtsZ ring at potential septation sites overlapping with the nucleoid, thereby ensuring that chromosome segregation is completed before cytokinesis occurs.
