This study identifies HpaAB as an active chromosome segregation system in Haloferax volcanii, essential for equipositioning replicons and maintaining genomic stability.

The paper identifies SamI as a cytosolic SPFH protein that couples membrane stress to differentiation in Bacillus subtilis by stabilizing a membrane complex involved in stress signaling and biofilm formation.

This paper identifies a three-protein system in Archaea essential for divisome positioning, showing functional similarities to the bacterial Min system but with distinct sequence and mechanism.

The paper identifies negative hysteresis as a robust phenomenon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that enhances antibiotic efficacy through increased aminoglycoside uptake after beta-lactam treatment.

The paper shows that sea urchin eggs incorporate plastid components, which enhance offspring developmental fitness and survival by influencing phytohormone regulation and lipid use.

This study shows that the ParA-like ATPase PldP in Corynebacterium glutamicum affects TatA dynamics, leading to cell division defects and impacting the secretion of peptidoglycan hydrolases.

The paper studies neural circuit self-assembly in Hydra embryos, showing environmental factors influence neural development and suggesting universal nervous system architecture.

This study identifies the membrane-binding site of B. subtilis DynA and shows that mutations in this region reduce phage resistance.

This paper shows that in Corynebacterium glutamicum, deletion of SMC makes FtsK essential for chromosome segregation, as FtsK compensates for SMC loss by extending its activity at the septum.

This study shows that membrane binding activates MinD ATPase activity and regulates its localization in B. subtilis, with dynamics explained by binding kinetics without requiring additional proteins.

This study compares the effects of benzothiazinone (BTZ) and ethambutol (EMB) on the corynebacterial cell envelope, showing BTZ preserves membrane integrity while EMB disrupts it.

The paper uses single molecule microscopy to show that PTS permease clusters in C. glutamicum dynamically adjust protein density based on substrate availability.
