This study links DnaA activity oscillations to DNA replication initiation in E. coli, showing they persist independently of dnaA expression and proposing an extrusion model for regulation.

The paper shows that increased bacterial motility during range expansion reduces phage spread by spatially sorting infected and uninfected cells, leading to migratory culling of viruses.

The paper identifies a single mutation, S43Y, that reduces transcription termination and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in T7 RNA polymerase.
