Many prokaryotes are diderms. They divide using an FtsZ division ring to simultaneously constrict physically coupled inner and outer membranes to form daughter cells with two membranes. Currently, only one archaeon, Ignicoccus hospitalis, is known to have an outer and inner membrane. Here, in exploring Ignicoccus cell division, we show by expansion microscopy that I. hospitalis uses a contractile CdvA-ESCRT-III ring to repeatedly constrict and cut its inner membrane in a way that yields clusters containing multiple cytoplasms within a shared periplasm. The outer bounding membrane then bursts to release the progeny cells, which regain their parental cell architecture via a membrane duplication process. Furthermore, this life cycle appears conserved across Ignicoccus strains, even though the precise timing of events changes. Taken together, these data show that Ignicoccus cells propagate by undergoing dynamic changes in their architecture as they transit between single and multi-cellular states.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
