Genomically minimal cells, such as JCVI-syn3. 0 and JCVI-syn3A, offer an empowering
framework to study relationships between genotype and phenotype. With a polygenic basis …

Rod-shaped bacteria typically elongate and divide by transverse fission. However, several
bacterial species can form rod-shaped cells that divide longitudinally. Here, we study the …

Mollicutes are a diverse class of bacteria with a variety of unique characteristics that have
allowed them to adapt to a range of hosts and often evade routine cultivation techniques …

Recently, we presented a whole-cell kinetic model of the genetically minimal bacterium JCVI-
syn3A that described the coupled metabolic and genetic information processes and …

A cell wall is required to control cell shape and size to maintain growth and division.
However, some bacterial species maintain their morphology and size without a cell wall …

Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms. These bacteria are important models
for both fundamental and synthetic biology, owing to their highly reduced genomes. They …

The bacterial division and cell wall (dcw) cluster is a highly conserved region of the genome
which encodes several essential cell division factors, including the central divisome protein …

Mycoplasmas are minimal bacteria that infect humans, wildlife, and most economically
relevant livestock species. Mycoplasma infections cause a large range of chronic …

The phylum Chloroflexota (formerly Chloroflexi) encompasses metabolically diverse
bacteria that often have high prevalence in terrestrial and aquatic habitats, some even with …

Background The comprehension of genome organization and gene modulation is essential
for understanding pathogens' infection mechanisms. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 7448 …
