This study uses simulations to show that composition and attraction govern the morphology of Dps:DNA condensates, revealing slow dynamics and robust phase behavior.

This paper demonstrates how to engineer bacterial cells into different shapes to control their light-focusing behavior, creating microlenses with enhanced optical properties.

This study shows Dps compacts the E. coli nucleoid and increases short-range DNA interactions without significantly affecting chromosome accessibility, dynamics, or organisation.

This study shows H-NS bridges DNA in the stationary-phase nucleoid of E. coli, leading to transcriptional repression and a shifted gene expression landscape.

The paper engineers bacteria to produce bioglass coatings that focus light more intensely than unmodified bacteria.

This study investigates how DNA topology influences the formation of Dps-DNA complexes, showing that DNA supercoils and bridging contacts facilitate nucleation and stabilization of these structures.
