The article reports on the study that might solve the controversy over the function of SpoIIIE during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. It states that using a range of time-lapse fluorescence microscopy studies, the authors were able to show that there was a direct correlation between the polarity of SpoIIIE-mediated chromosome segregation and the position of oriC after septation, SpoIIIE moves the chromosome into the cell that contains the replication origin.
