SpoIIE drives asymmetric cell division in B. subtilis by sequential modulation of the cytokinesis machinery

This study shows SpoIIE modulates cytokinesis machinery in B. subtilis to drive asymmetric cell division by interacting with MinCD and DivIB, and regulating FtsZ filament length.

Tissue-Like Multicellular Development Triggered by Mechanical Compression in Archaea

This study shows mechanical compression induces tissue-like multicellularity in haloarchaea, forming structures with distinct molecular and mechanical features similar to eukaryotic tissues.

Genomic re-sequencing reveals substantial mutational divergence across genetically engineered strains of model archaea

The paper re-sequences 60 archaeal strains from two species to assess genetic divergence and identify mutations arising from lab manipulations and transfers.

NMR study of the interaction between MinC and FtsZ and modeling of the FtsZ:MinC complex.

This study uses NMR and modeling to determine how MinC interacts with FtsZ, revealing that MinC caps FtsZ filaments to inhibit Z-ring formation.

In vivo multi-dimensional information-keeping in Halobacterium salinarum

This paper demonstrates efficient in vivo DNA-encoded digital archives for 3D and 4D information storage using Halobacterium salinarum, with improved durability through mineral salt preservation.

MreB Filaments Create Rod Shape By Aligning Along Principal Membrane Curvature.

The paper shows MreB filaments align along principal membrane curvature to create rod shape in bacteria, supported by biophysical modeling and experimental observations.
