Visual evidence for the recruitment of four enzymes with RNase activity to the Bacillus subtilis replication forks

This study shows that four RNases are recruited to replication forks in B. subtilis, with RNase HIII playing a major role in DNA replication.

ATPase activity of B. subtilis RecA affects the dynamic formation of RecA filaments at DNA double strand breaks

This study shows that ATPase activity in B. subtilis RecA is critical for dynamic filament formation at DNA breaks, while ATP binding is less essential for filament stability and basic function.

A bacterial dynamin-like protein confers a novel phage resistance strategy on the population level in Bacillus subtilis

This study identifies DynA, a bacterial dynamin-like protein, as a novel phage resistance mechanism that delays host cell lysis at the population level in Bacillus subtilis.

Single molecule dynamics of DNA receptor ComEA, membrane permease ComEC and taken up DNA in competent Bacillus subtilis cells

This paper investigates the dynamics of DNA uptake in Bacillus subtilis, showing ComEC's mobility and the role of its C-terminus in DNA binding and transport.

Single molecule dynamics at a bacterial replication fork after nutritional downshift

The paper examines how bacterial replication fork proteins respond to different stress conditions, showing differential behavior in protein binding and turnover.

The formation of microbial exoskeletons is driven by a controlled calcium-concentrating subcellular niche

This paper identifies a calcium-accumulating subcellular niche in bacteria that drives biofilm mineralization, showing its conservation across species and potential as a drug target.
