Abstract

The review summarizes the current understanding of cyanobacterial cell division mechanisms in comparison with those of eukaryotic plastids. It also sheds light on the present knowledge of the nature of evolutionary transformations of the cyanobacterial cell division apparatus that could have occurred during the establishment of modern plastid division complex. Peculiar properties of cyanobacterial cell division process are discussed as well as the features of primary and secondary plastid replication.
