Rgg144/SHP144 - controlled Streptolancidin D mediates intra-species competition in Streptococcus pneumoniae with cumulative effect from other bacteriocins and fratricide

This paper identifies and characterizes streptolancidin D, a bacteriocin in Streptococcus pneumoniae regulated by Rgg144/SHP144, which enhances intra-species competition and is effective against diverse isolates.

Hierarchical cross-linking of a bacterial spore coat Hub protein

The paper shows that C30 self-assembles into complexes stabilized by disulfide bonds, which are required for Tgl-mediated cross-linking during spore coat formation in Bacillus subtilis.

The impact of YabG mutations on C. difficile spore germination and processing of spore substrates

This study investigates how mutations in YabG affect C. difficile spore germination and substrate processing, showing altered substrate cleavage and expression patterns.
