Antibiotic action revealed by real-time imaging of the mycobacterial membrane

This study uses real-time imaging to observe how antibiotics affect mycobacterial cell envelope remodeling, revealing unique cellular responses and extracellular vesicle production.

Transition of Vibrio cholerae through a natural host induces resistance to environmental changes

This study shows that Vibrio cholerae undergoes morphological changes during environmental transitions, which are critical for its ability to colonize host tissues.

The VarA-CsrA regulatory pathway influences cell shape in Vibrio cholerae

This study identifies a link between the VarA-CsrA regulatory pathway and cell shape in Vibrio cholerae, showing that varA mutants exhibit spherical morphology due to altered peptidoglycan composition.

A novel widespread bacterial structure related to the flagellar type III secretion system

The paper identifies a novel widespread bacterial structure related to the flagellar type III secretion system, suggesting its involvement in diverse cellular functions.

Species-specific recognition of Sulfolobales mediated by UV inducible pili and S-layer glycosylation patterns

This study identifies species-specific regions in Sulfolobus pilin subunits and unique N-glycan patterns that mediate species-specific aggregation and DNA exchange.

Brucella periplasmic protein EipB is a molecular determinant of cell envelope integrity and virulence

This study identifies EipB as a conserved periplasmic protein in Brucella that maintains cell envelope integrity and contributes to virulence, with structural and genetic interactions with TtpA.

Periplasmic protein EipA determines envelope stress resistance and virulence in Brucella abortus

This study identifies EipA as a periplasmic protein in Brucella abortus that enhances envelope stress resistance and virulence by maintaining cell envelope integrity and influencing cell division.

Uncharacterized bacterial structures revealed by electron cryotomography

The paper presents uncharacterized bacterial structures observed via electron cryotomography to encourage their identification and study.

Structure of the archaellar motor and associated cytoplasmic cone in Thermococcus kodakaraensis

This study uses electron cryotomography to visualize the archaellar motor and cytoplasmic cone in Thermococcus kodakaraensis, revealing structural differences from bacterial type IV pilus.
