= Divisome
The bacterial machinery assembling and remodeling the envelope at the division site.
Components assemble around a selected site, coordinate membrane constriction and build the new cell-envelope boundary. <FtsZ> helps organize that machinery in many <bacteria>. A division defect can therefore arise from faulty placement, assembly or envelope synthesis. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 12, 18 and 19, compartments, division and cell junctions]{ref}
