Virulence priming of Listeria monocytogenes inside replication-permissive endolysosomes

Thomas J. P. Petit, Simon Guette-Marquet, Adrien Candat, Anouk Viry, Nicolas Desprat, Alice Lebreton

This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes primes its cytosolic virulence program inside eSLAPs, enabling faster actin recruitment upon escape.

Evolutionary rescue of spherical mreB deletion mutants of the rod-shape bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

P Richard J Yulo, Nicolas Desprat, Monica L. Gerth, Barbara Ritzl-Rinkenberger, Andrew D. Farr, Yunhao Liu, Xuexian Zhang, Michael Miller, Felipe Cava, Paul B. Rainey, Heather Lyn Hendrickson

This study shows that spherical mreB deletion mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 can regain fitness through mutations in Pbp1A, restoring cell size homeostasis and supporting a hypothesis about balanced transpeptidase and glycosyltransferase functions.

Magnetic actuation of otoliths allows behavioral and brain-wide neuronal exploration of vestibulo-motor processing in larval zebrafish.

Natalia Beiza-Canelo, Hippolyte Moulle, Thomas Pujol, Thomas Panier, Geoffrey Migault, Guillaume Le Goc, Pierre Tapie, Nicolas Desprat, Hans Straka, Georges Debrégeas, Volker Bormuth

The paper uses magnetic actuation of otoliths in larval zebrafish to study vestibulo-motor processing without head movement, revealing commissural inhibition between brain hemispheres.
