Antibiotic resistance via bacterial cell shape-shifting

N. Ojkic, D. Serbanescu, S. Banerjee

The paper investigates how bacterial cell shape changes under antibiotic stress, showing that reducing surface-to-volume ratio decreases intracellular antibiotic concentration and enhances resistance.

Bacterial cell shape control by nutrient-dependent synthesis of cell division inhibitors

N. Ojkic, S. Banerjee

The paper finds that Bacillus subtilis maintains a robust surface-to-volume scaling relation under nutrient changes, regulated by nutrient-dependent cell division inhibitors.

Universal surface-to-volume scaling and aspect ratio homeostasis in rod-shaped bacteria

N. Ojkic, D. Serbanescu, S. Banerjee

This study identifies a universal surface-to-volume scaling relation in rod-shaped bacteria, driven by aspect ratio homeostasis and a model linking cell elongation to FtsZ accumulation.

Cell wall remodeling drives engulfment during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

N. Ojkic, J. Lopez-Garrido, K. Pogliano, R. Endres

This study identifies cell wall remodeling as the mechanism driving membrane movement during Bacillus subtilis sporulation.
