Caulobacter crescentus is an aquatic Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium that undergoes
multiple changes in cell shape, organelle production, subcellular distribution of proteins, and …

We present a new physical biology approach to understanding the relationship between the
organization and segregation of bacterial chromosomes. We posit that replicated …

abstract a recently developed real-time pcr method for the determination of genome copy
numbers was optimized for the application to cyanobacteria. three species were chosen to …

The bacterial MreB actin cytoskeleton is required for cell shape maintenance in most non‐
spherical organisms. In rod‐shaped cells such as Escherichia coli, it typically assembles …

Teichoic acids and acidic capsular polysaccharides are major anionic cell wall polymers
(APs) in many bacteria, with various critical cell functions, including maintenance of cell …

The characteristic shape of bacterial cells is mainly determined by the cell wall, the synthesis
of which is orchestrated by penicillin‐binding proteins (PBPs). Rod‐shaped bacteria have …

CRISPR systems, such as CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-Cpf1, have been successfully used
for genome editing in a variety of organisms. Although the technique of CRISPR-Cpf1 has …

Background The transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes was the most radical change in
cell organisation since life began, with the largest ever burst of gene duplication and novelty …

Bacterial chromosomes are generally∼ 1000 times longer than the cells in which they
reside, and concurrent replication, segregation, and transcription/translation of this crowded …

Photosynthetic biomanufacturing provides a promising solution for sustainable production of
biofuels and biochemicals. Cyanobacteria are among the most promising microbial …
