This paper investigates the multiplicity of Trx systems in Clostridia, showing how different TrxBs and TrxAs contribute to stress response, sporulation, and Stickland pathway metabolism.

This study identifies bile as a trigger for biofilm formation in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and shows that extracellular DNA degradation by DNase BT3563 is essential for this process.

This study identifies extracellular pyruvate as a trigger for biofilm formation in C. difficile in the presence of DOC, revealing a mechanism for pathogen persistence in the gut.

The paper identifies RNAs bound by Hfq in C. difficile, revealing new RNA partners and a role for one ncRNA in sporulation regulation.

This study identifies CwlA as a substrate of the STK PrkC in C. difficile, showing that phosphorylation regulates its export and modulates cell division by controlling peptidoglycan hydrolysis.
