Streptomycetes are high G+ C Gram-positive, antibiotic-producing, soil bacteria that undergo
complex morphological differentiation (Chater, 2001). The 8.7 Mb Streptomyces coelicolor …

Biofilms transform independent cells into specialized cell communities. Here are presented
some insights into biofilm formation ascertained with the best‐characterized strain …

The living world is largely divided into autotrophs that convert CO 2 into biomass and
heterotrophs that consume organic compounds. In spite of widespread interest in renewable …

Retrons are prokaryotic genetic retroelements encoding a reverse transcriptase that
produces multi-copy single-stranded DNA (msDNA). Despite decades of research on the …

Methanol, being electron rich and derivable from methane or CO 2, is a potentially
renewable one-carbon (C1) feedstock for microorganisms. Although the ribulose …

The microbiota and the gastrointestinal mucus layer play a pivotal role in protection against
non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) colitis. Here, we analyzed …

Base pairing RNAs modulate gene expression in all studied organisms. In many bacteria,
the base pairing between most small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and their targets is mediated …

Genotoxic colibactin-producing pks+ Escherichia coli induce DNA double-strand breaks,
mutations, and promote tumor development in mouse models of colorectal cancer (CRC) …

CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems in prokaryotes boast a diversity of protein families
and mechanisms of action, where most systems rely on protospacer-adjacent motifs (PAMs) …

Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a protective outer membrane (OM) with
phospholipids in its inner leaflet and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in its outer leaflet. The OM is …
