The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins play a vital role in genome stability and chromosome organization in all domains of life. Previous reports show that smc deletion causes decondensation of chromosome and an increased frequency of anucleated cells in bacteria. However, smc deletion in both Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis did not affect chromosome condensation or the frequency of anucleated cells. In an attempt to understand this difference in M. smegmatis, we investigated th
