Here, we show that the alphaproteobacterium Hyphomonas neptunium, which proliferates by bud formation at the tip of a stalk-like cellular extension, segregates its chromosomes in a unique two-step process. First, the two sister origin regions are targeted to opposite poles of the mother cell, driven by the ParABS partitioning system. Subsequently, once the bulk of chromosomal ...[more]
