Collective polarization dynamics in gonococcal colonies

M. Hennes, N. Bender, T. Cronenberg, A. Welker, B. Maier

This study reveals a transition from uncorrelated to collective membrane polarization dynamics in Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonies, linked to oxygen gradients and antibiotic tolerance.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of growth and death within spherical bacterial colonies

A. Welker, M. Hennes, N. Bender, T. Cronenberg, G. Schneider, B. Maier

The paper develops methods to measure growth rates in bacterial colonies and finds that Neisseria gonorrhoeae forms steep growth rate gradients and uses stringent response to protect against stress.

Type IV pilin post-translational modifications modulate materials properties of bacterial colonies

R. Zöllner, T. Cronenberg, N. Kouzel, A. Welker, M. Koomey, B. Maier

This study investigates how post-translational modifications of pilin subunits in Neisseria gonorrhoeae affect microcolony shape and dynamics by altering attractive forces and material properties.
