This study identifies FtsZ and SepF as essential for Z-ring formation in Bacillus subtilis and discovers BraB as a new cell division regulator through gene deletion experiments.

This study investigates the function of WhiA in B. subtilis using yeast two-hybrid, Hi-C, metabolomics, and transcriptomics, finding reduced branched-chain fatty acid precursors in ΔwhiA cells.

The paper introduces a time-lapse imaging method to classify antimicrobial agents based on their effects on bacterial morphology.

This study compares gene expression between motile and non-motile cells in Bacillus subtilis, finding reduced ribosomal gene expression in motile cells, suggesting resource reallocation to motility systems.

This study shows that SepF protein rings in bacteria control septal thickness, with ring diameter correlating to septum thickness and manipulation of ring size altering septum thickness.

This paper introduces a new flat embedding method for TEM that enables large-scale quantification of bacterial morphological changes, revealing tetracycline's previously unknown membrane-disrupting activity.

This study identifies membrane curvature and Tol-Pal complex interaction as key factors for polar localization of the chemoreceptor Tar in E. coli.

The paper develops a method to identify dynamic protein-protein interactions at the peptide level in bacteria using cross-linking in culture, revealing new interactions in transcription and translation.
