Fluorescent stains can also be used with light microscopy. The technique relies on the fluorescence emitted from chemicals called fluorochromes when exposed to incident light of a shorter wavelenght.

But the story doesn't end there: FtsZ is also a prokaryotic homolog of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal protein tubulin (chapter 2), and FtsA is homologous to another eukaryotic cyoskeletal protein, actin.

Interestingly, ftsZ is but one of the many genes that, when mutated, exhibit the same filament-forming phenotype. Indeed, there are over a dozen fts genes.
