The maintenance of chromosome DNA requires many nucleoidassociated factors in bacteria. Among them, the SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) complex plays a role in the organization and segregation of the chromosome. As discussed by Kamada and Barillà in article 1700166 , this complex is recruited to the origin‐proximal region and then travels to the terminus, producing an individualized chromosome by combing left and right chromosome arms.
