Cross-linked agarose-gelatine beads as a substrate for investigating biofilms of bacterial pathogens

Dan Roizman, Maren Herzog, A. Nath, Nivetha Pachaimuthu, Ahmad Hujeirat, Benno Kuropka, Jens Rolff, Alexandro Rodríguez-Rojas

This paper introduces a hydrogel substrate for studying bacterial biofilms, showing improved biofilm growth and virulence factor production compared to glass beads.

Protein aggregation drives cell aging in a size-specific manner in Escherichia coli

Linda Wagener, Arpita Nath, Murat Tuğrul, Abram Aertsen, Ulrich Karl Steiner, Audrey Menegaz Proenca

This study shows that protein aggregation in E. coli drives aging by reducing intracellular space, leading to larger cell sizes and asymmetric divisions.

Antibiotic-induced Recombination in Escherichia coli Requires the Formation of DNA Double-Strand Breaks

Arpita Nath, Dan Roizman, Israa Amin, Nivetha Pachaimuthu, Jesús Blázquez, Olga Makarova, Jens Rolff, Alexandro Rodríguez-Rojas

This study shows that fluoroquinolones increase recombination in E. coli by causing DNA double-strand breaks, unlike other antibiotics that do not affect recombination.
