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.
