First isolated and classified in the 1960s, Caulobacter crescentus has been instrumental in
the study of bacterial cell biology and differentiation. C. crescentus is a Gram-negative …

Biofilm formation is a fundamental part of life cycles of bacteria which affects various aspects
of bacterial-host interactions including the development of drug resistance and chronic …

Upon nutrient depletion, bacteria stop proliferating and undergo physiological and
morphological changes to ensure their survival. Yet, how these processes are coordinated …

The cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) recognizes cytosolic DNA and synthesizes
the second messenger, cGAMP, thus activating the adaptor protein stimulator of interferon …

The ability of an organism to respond to environmental changes is paramount to survival
across a range of conditions. The bacterial heme nitric oxide/oxygen binding proteins (H …

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a ubiquitous secondary messenger in bacteria, affects multiple
bacterial behaviors including motility and biofilm formation. c-di-GMP is synthesized by …

To elucidate the function of proteorhodopsin in Candidatus Puniceispirillum marinum strain
IMCC1322, a cultivated representative of SAR116, we produced RNA-seq data under …

Citrus HLB, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), is the most devastating
citrus disease worldwide. Usually 10% of total genes in bacteria are regulatory genes, but …

The cell cycle of Caulobacter crescentus involves the polar morphogenesis and an
asymmetric cell division driven by precise interactions and regulations of proteins, which …

In the alphaproteobacterium, Caulobacter crescentus, phosphorylated CtrA (CtrA∼ P), a
master regulatory protein, binds directly to the chromosome origin (Cori) to inhibit DNA …
