The cytoplasmic phosphate level has a central regulatory role in the phosphate starvation response of Caulobacter crescentus

This study investigates how cytoplasmic phosphate levels regulate the phosphate starvation response in Caulobacter crescentus, revealing distinct physiological and transcriptional responses to environmental and cytoplasmic phosphate changes.

DipM controls multiple autolysins and mediates two regulatory feedback loops promoting cell constriction in C. crescentus

This paper identifies DipM as a LytM factor that regulates autolysins through two feedback loops to promote cell constriction in C. crescentus.

A specialized MreB-dependent complex mediates the formation of stalk-specific peptidoglycan in Caulobacter crescentus
