Controlled septal peptidoglycan hydrolysis is vital for bacterial cell division, preserving cellular integrity and facilitating proper daughter cell separation. InEscherichia coli, the FtsEX ABC system governs cell wall hydrolase activation by regulating the EnvC activator. However, the processes underlying cell division in the Gram-negative oral bacteriumFusobacterium nucleatumare poorly understood, mainly due to its well-known genetic intractability. Herein, we provide a step-by-step procedure for a new gene deletion method inF. nucleatum, focusing on theftsXgene as a target. This novel approach exploits the HicAB toxin-antitoxin system, using HicA as a counter-selective marker to enable efficient and precise gene deletion. By implementing this technique, we successfully demonstrated its applicability inF. nucleatum, providing new insights into this important microorganism’s cell division process. Furthermore, this advanced gene deletion technique offers a valuable resource for future investigation into the functional characterization of genes involved in cell wall biogenesis inF. nucleatumand other genetically intractable microorganisms.
