This paper describes how the Druantia type III-A defense system in E. coli clears phage infections by recognizing single-stranded DNA and unwinding DNA duplexes directionally.

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.

BactoMate provides a unified platform for reproducible bacterial microscopy analysis, integrating multiple steps into a single workflow with user-configurable parameters.

This study investigates the molecular mechanism of the Druantia anti-phage defense system, showing that DruH-E provides robust immunity and revealing its DNA unwinding and regulation by ATP.

This study shows that bacterial flagellum assembly is optimized for energy efficiency and motility by balancing secretion rate and filament length.

This study reveals the structure and mechanism of the Zorya anti-phage defense system using cryo-EM and functional assays, showing how it detects phage invasion and activates defense.
