Environmental feedback drives oxidative stress response heterogeneity in bacterial populations

The paper shows that bacterial oxidative stress response heterogeneity arises from deterministic environmental feedback rather than stochastic noise, improving population-level stress tolerance.

Adaptation delay causes a burst of mutations in bacteria responding to oxidative stress

The paper shows that adaptation delays in bacteria cause mutation bursts during oxidative stress, which can be mitigated by prior stress exposure or constitutive OxyR activation.

Distinct activities of bacterial condensins for chromosome management in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This study investigates the distinct roles of bacterial condensins in chromosome management in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing their functional hierarchy and coordination with DNA replication.
