A cellular process resulting in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell and its separation into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis usually occurs after growth, replication, and segregation of cellular components. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the division of the cytoplasm of a cell and its separation into two daughter cells. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of barrier septum formation. Barrier septum formation is the assembly and arrangement of a septum that spans the plasma membrane interface between progeny cells following cytokinesis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cytokinesis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell division. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the physical partitioning and separation of a cell into daughter cells. The process resulting in the physical partitioning and separation of a cell into daughter cells.
