This study quantifies the cost-benefit trade-off of peritrichous flagellation in Salmonella enterica, showing that increased flagellation reduces growth rate but enhances motility and competitive fitness in structured environments.

The paper identifies the Y-complex as a regulator of RNase Y specificity in Bacillus subtilis, showing it mediates stress-induced ribosome degradation by targeting rRNA.

This study investigates the energy metabolism of Cupriavidus necator under different trophic conditions by analyzing gene fitness using a barcoded transposon knockout library, revealing substrate-specific enzyme utilization and gene redundancy.

The paper screens CRISPR interference mutants in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 across trophic conditions, revealing tradeoffs between growth rate and robustness and identifying condition-specific gene functions.

This study investigates how Cupriavidus necator reallocates its proteome under different growth conditions and finds that many proteins are not utilized and autotrophy-related enzymes are underutilized.
