Constitutive production of flagellar proteins is required for proper flagellation in Shewanella putrefaciens

M. Schwan, A. Khaledi, S. Willger, K. Papenfort, T. Glatter, S. Häussler, K. M. Thormann

The paper shows that constitutive expression of flagellar proteins is necessary for proper flagellation in Shewanella putrefaciens, revealing a 'tier zero' of basal expression required for flagellar synthesis.

Vibrio cholerae biofilm dispersal regulator causes cell release from matrix through type IV pilus retraction

P. K. Singh, D. K. H. Rode, P. Buffard, K. Nosho, M. Bayer, H. Jeckel, E. Jelli, K. Neuhaus, E. Jimenez-Siebert, N. Peschek, T. Glatter, K. Papenfort, K. Drescher

This study identifies VbdR as a regulator of Vibrio cholerae biofilm dispersal, showing it induces type IV pilus retraction and matrix protease expression to release cells from the biofilm matrix.
