Pathological R-loops in bacteria from engineered expression of endogenous antisense RNAs whose synthesis is ordinarily terminated by Rho

The paper shows engineered antisense RNAs in bacteria generate R-loops that disrupt genome integrity, confirming Rho's role in preventing toxic R-loops.

Re-examination of the taxonomic status of the Antarctic Pseudomonas syringae Lz4W isolate and proposal to rename it as a novel species Pseudomonas cryophila sp. nov.

The paper re-evaluates the taxonomic status of Pseudomonas syringae Lz4W using genomic and phenotypic data, proposing it as a novel species Pseudomonas cryophila.
