Popis:	Pop goes the coccus Daughter cell separation in Staphylococcus aureus proceeds much like the cracking of an egg. So say Zhou et al. , who examined dividing cells with millisecond precision using high-speed videomicroscopy. Rather than proceeding gradually, tiny imperfections in the mother cell wall were seen to crack open, leaving two daughter cells linked by a hinge. Science , this issue p. 574
