This study measures within-cell plasmid fitness and shows that incompatible plasmids co-occur longer due to methylation-based eclipsing, with less transcriptionally active plasmids having a selective advantage.

The paper uses multi-generational imaging to study essential genes in E. coli, revealing new mechanisms behind growth laws and identifying unknown gene functions.

This study investigates how stochasticity in bacterial division affects homeostasis, finding that noise in septum position and growth rate dampens oscillations in cell size dynamics.

The paper analyzes bacterial cell size data to show that a commitment size model better explains both mean and fluctuation profiles than degradation-based models.

The paper constructs RNA-based synthetic oscillators using deactivated CRISPR-Cas systems in bacterial cells, finding that dCas12a oscillators perform better than dCas9 oscillators.
