Mechanisms Controlling the Cell Envelope Remodeling Activities of the Escherichia Coli Cytokinetic Ring
(2016-05-13)
In Escherichia coli, cytokinesis requires the constriction of all the cell envelope layers: the inner membrane, the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall and the outer membrane (OM). Such dramatic cell envelope remodeling requires ...
Envelope biogenesis and spore formation in Bacillus subtilis
(2016-05-02)
The bacterial cell wall exoskeleton (or peptidoglycan) protects cells from osmotic lysis, specifies their shape, and its biosynthetic pathway is a widely-exploited antibiotic target. My thesis research focused on defining ...
A genetic dissection of the interactions between the CbtA toxin of Escherichia coli and the bacterial cytoskeleton
(2016-09-15)
Prokaryotic chromosomal toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, consisting of a stable toxin and a labile, cotranscribed antitoxin, have been shown to target a number of essential processes in bacteria. The Escherichia coli genome ...
