This study shows RNase J2 in B. subtilis acts as a specificity factor for RNase J1, enhancing its degradation of mRNAs and influencing biofilm formation and swarming.

The paper develops a multicolor fluorescent labelling toolkit for Gram-negative bacteria, enabling reliable imaging and analysis across scales in host-pathogen contexts.

This study uses CRISPRi to identify gene functions in two Bacillus subtilis biofilm types, revealing shared and distinct genetic pathways for their formation.

This study identifies a network of c-di-GMP-binding proteins in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, revealing DipA as a central hub that integrates opposing modules for biofilm formation and environmental adaptation.

This study shows that disrupting spsM in Bacillus subtilis via prophage integration or mutagenesis leads to increased spontaneous mutations in regulatory genes, promoting phenotypic diversification, while prophage excision reduces mutational diversity.

This paper identifies complementary phage activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, showing different receptor usage and biofilm degradation efficiencies.

This study identifies beneficial microbial strains that form positive biofilms to exclude harmful bacteria and shows that compatibility control is needed in synthetic community design.

This study identifies adhesins in V. parvula and S. gordonii that mediate co-aggregation and shows its role in biofilm structure without affecting cell-cell communication.

The paper analyzes the genomes of Enterococcus cecorum isolates to identify genetic features associated with clinical disease and track their spread.
