Bacterial cell growth is a complex process consisting of two distinct phases: cell elongation
and septum formation prior to cell division. Although bacteria have evolved several different …

Streptomyces cells grow by building cell wall at one pole—the hyphal tip. Although
analogous to hyphal growth in fungi, this is achieved in a prokaryote, without any of the well …

Background Sensing and responding to environmental changes is a central aspect of cell
division regulation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis contains eleven Ser/Thr kinases, two of …

In many model organisms, diffuse patterning of cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis by the actin
homolog MreB enables the bacteria to maintain their characteristic rod shape. In …

The determination of bacterial identity at the strain level is still a complex and time-
consuming endeavor. In this study, visible wavelength spontaneous Raman spectroscopy …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis, the leading cause
of death among all infectious diseases. There are 11 eukaryotic-like serine/threonine protein …

In the current study, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was performed to evaluate
the antibacterial activity of lab-synthesized drug (1-isopentyl-3-pentyl-1 H-imidazole-3-ium …

Corynebacteria grow by wall extension at the cell poles, with DivIVA being an essential
protein orchestrating cell elongation and morphogenesis. DivIVA is considered a scaffolding …

The central core of the mycobacterial cell envelope consists of the mycolyl‐arabinogalactan‐
peptidoglycan complex, also known as the MAPc. Anchoring the entire MAPc is the …

Communication is vital for nearly all organisms to survive and thrive. For some particularly
successful intracellular pathogens, a robust and precise signal transduction system is …
