Bacterial cell division happens through [[binary fission]] or through [[budding]]. The [[divisome]] is a protein complex in bacteria that is responsible for cell division, constriction of inner and outer membranes during division, and remodeling of the  [[peptidoglycan]] cell wall at the division site. A tubulin-like protein, [[FtsZ]] plays a critical role in formation of a contractile ring for the cell division.<ref>Cell Division: The Cycle of the Ring, Lawrence Rothfield and Sheryl Justice, [https://www.cell.com/fulltext/S0092-8674(00)81899-1#:~:text=The%20bacterial%20cell%20cycle%20can,to%20cytokinesis%20and%20cell%20separation.
