This study measures membrane fluidity in live mycobacteria using C-Laurdan, revealing subcellular variation and pole-selective responses to mycomembrane perturbations.

The paper uses metabolic tagging to identify surface-associated lipoproteins in mycobacteria, revealing their presence without known transporters.

The paper shows that synonymous mutations in mycobacteria can create new transcription start sites within genes, leading to smaller protein isoforms.
