partial helical pattern Secretion of ActA-RFP occurred at sites distinct from new cell wall synthesis
The percentage of poles associated with ActA-RFP was greatest for the youngest

Actin based motility and ActA distribution Black outline represents the bacterium. The polar ActA distribution on the surface is shown in blue. The actin that polymerized first (oldest actin) is shown in red, and the newest is in yellow. The dashed line indicates the stationary laboratory frame of reference. Initial actin accumulation (red) occurs preferentially along the sides as the hemispherical poles have a disadvantage toward actin accumulation due to their greater curvature.
