Genetic analysis of cell envelope assembly and polar growth in Corynebacterium glutamicum
(2021-07-12)
Increasing our understanding of the mechanisms of bacterial cell envelope biogenesis will help identify novel enzymes for future antibiotic targets. While most current research efforts focus on understanding the mechanisms ...
Developing and characterizing phage-encoded homologous recombination machinery as a genome editing tool
(2021-09-15)
The ability to efficiently and precisely modify the genome of living organisms is one of the most important technological advances of this generation, and propels the accelerating progress of basic research, biotechnology, ...
A genomics love story: Tying the knot between micro- and macroevolution in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(2021-08-24)
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally. Understanding the population dynamics and evolution of TB’s causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) over short time-scales in-host (micro-evolution) ...
Single-molecule imaging reveals that Z-ring condensation is essential for cell division in Bacillus subtilis
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-03-18)
Although many components of the cell division machinery in bacteria have been identified, the mechanisms by which they work together to divide the cell remain poorly understood. Key among these components is the tubulin ...
