At 0 min, a cell was infected by a phage (which appears as a green dot) around a quarter position. At 5 min, a SeqA-ECFP focus corresponding to the ejected phage DNA appeared. Later on, this focus converted to two foci corresponding to two hemimethylated phage DNAs. Occasionally the number of foci became one or zero given that the fluorescent spots moved out of the focal plane. At a later time, the two foci divided into two daughter cells. See the article by Shao et al. in the April 21 issue of Biophysical Journal.
