Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have faced diverse threats from other
microorganisms, including competing bacteria, bacteriophages and predators. In response …

It has been 10 years since the introduction of modern transposon-insertion sequencing (TIS)
methods, which combine genome-wide transposon mutagenesis with high-throughput …

Biofilms are a widely observed growth mode in which microbial communities are spatially
structured and embedded in a polymeric extracellular matrix. Here, we focus on the model …

The bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus attaches to the exterior of a Gram-negative prey
cell, enters the periplasm, and harvests resources to replicate before lysing the host to find …

Almost sixty years ago, Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) were discovered as the first
obligate bacterial predators of other bacteria known to science. Since then, they were shown …

Drug‐resistant pathogens significantly threaten human health and life. Simply killing drug‐
resistant pathogens cannot effectively eliminate their threat since the drug‐resistant genes …

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a bacterial predator capable of killing and replicating inside
most Gram-negative bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Despite growing …

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a plant parasitic nematode, is the causal agent of pine wilt, a
devastating forest tree disease. Essentially, no efficient methods for controlling B. xylophilus …

Evolutionarily conserved NusG protein enhances bacterial RNA polymerase processivity but
can also promote transcription termination by binding to, and stimulating the activity of, Rho …

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 is a highly motile predatory bacterium that consumes
other Gram‐negative bacteria for its sustenance. Here, we describe the impacts the media …
