Morphology, Slow Dynamics, and Composition-Controlled Phase Behavior in a Minimal Model of Dps:DNA Co-Condensation

This study uses simulations to show that composition and attraction govern the morphology of Dps:DNA condensates, revealing slow dynamics and robust phase behavior.

Tunable light-focusing behavior of engineered bacterial microlenses with controllable shapes

This paper demonstrates how to engineer bacterial cells into different shapes to control their light-focusing behavior, creating microlenses with enhanced optical properties.

Dps binds and protects DNA in starved Escherichia coli with minimal effect on chromosome accessibility, dynamics and organisation

This study shows Dps compacts the E. coli nucleoid and increases short-range DNA interactions without significantly affecting chromosome accessibility, dynamics, or organisation.

Genome-wide DNA bridging by H-NS reshapes the stationary phase nucleoid and transcriptional landscape

This study shows H-NS bridges DNA in the stationary-phase nucleoid of E. coli, leading to transcriptional repression and a shifted gene expression landscape.

Engineered bacteria that self-assemble ''bioglass'' polysilicate coatings display enhanced light focusing

The paper engineers bacteria to produce bioglass coatings that focus light more intensely than unmodified bacteria.
