The paper develops fluorescent biosensors for cryogenic correlative light and electron microscopy to measure physiological conditions alongside structural data.

This study shows polyphosphate regulates carbon fixation and nucleoid structure in cyanobacteria by organizing spatial relationships between carboxysomes and the nucleoid.

This study shows that Clr4's engagement with chromatin in S. pombe is driven by substrate recognition, not sequestration, through guided search behavior.

This study uses single-molecule tracking to analyze the behavior of three proteins involved in removing RNA-DNA hybrids during lagging-strand replication in Bacillus subtilis, revealing their dynamic interactions with the replisome and nucleoid.

This study uses live-cell single-molecule tracking to analyze how NAPs like Dps and H-NS affect HU-DNA interactions across different growth phases in E. coli.

This study investigates the McdAB system in Halothiobacillus neapolitanus, revealing that McdA's ATPase activity is DNA-stimulated and that McdB displaces McdA from DNA, forming gradients to prevent carboxysome aggregation.

This study measures the biophysical properties of the bacterial nucleoid and shows they are dynamic, heterogeneous, and responsive to cellular processes.

This study uses transient amyloid binding with Nile blue to enable super-resolution imaging of curli fibrils on living E. coli cells, providing structural insights into their assembly and function.

This study shows Dps compacts the E. coli nucleoid and increases short-range DNA interactions without significantly affecting chromosome accessibility, dynamics, or organisation.

The paper shows stress causes bacterial BR-bodies to switch from mRNA decay to storage by changing their physical state and function.

This study shows H-NS bridges DNA in the stationary-phase nucleoid of E. coli, leading to transcriptional repression and a shifted gene expression landscape.

The paper shows that nucleoid compaction maintains carboxysome organization in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 when McdAB activity is downregulated.

The paper shows that basal bodies in Bacillus subtilis are mobile during early assembly and become immobilized when the rod transits the peptidoglycan, suggesting rod polymerization probes the peptidoglycan for pores.

The paper identifies polyphosphate as a scaffold for phase-separated condensates in bacteria and humans, showing its role in RNA turnover and translation.

This study shows that minor amino acid changes in Swi6 can lead to significant changes in epigenetic inheritance by altering effector recruitment specificity.
