Abstract
This review addresses chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The first part deals with events associated with co mpletion of a round of replication to an extent that yields separable chromosomes. Events more directly involved in chromosome movement are covered in the second part. In the final section, a model for chromoso me partitioning based on the information presented in the first two pa rts is presented.
