This study examines how different cell wall antibiotics affect peptidoglycan synthesis in Bacillus subtilis, revealing distinct morphological outcomes and mechanisms of cell lysis.

The paper measures membrane fluidity in Gram-positive bacteria across temperatures and finds fluidity is maintained at low temperatures but not at higher temperatures.

The paper investigates how ComM, a membrane protein in Streptococcus pneumoniae, transiently inhibits cell division during competence by reducing septal peptidoglycan synthesis.

This study identifies osmotically stable wall-less forms in Listeria monocytogenes during starvation, revealing a conserved stress response mechanism across Listeria species.

This paper develops a TIR-FCS assay to measure membrane fluidity in live bacteria and finds that cold shock reduces membrane fluidity in Bacillus subtilis.
