Measuring prion propagation in single bacteria elucidates mechanism of loss

K. Jager, M. T. Orozco-Hildago, B. L. Springstein, E. Joly-Smith, F. Papazotos, E. McDonough, E. Fleming, G. McCallum, A. Hilfinger, A. Hochschild, L. Potvin-Trottier

The paper investigates prion propagation in single bacterial cells, finding that prions are lost through random partitioning during division and that a stochastic model recapitulates observed properties.
