This paper develops a standardized genetic toolkit for Deinococcus radiodurans, enabling tunable gene regulation and genome engineering with various components for plasmid and chromosomal modifications.

This study identifies and characterizes two sRNA-binding proteins, KhpA and KhpB, in Deinococcus radiodurans, showing their roles in sRNA stability, target interactions, and global gene regulation.

This paper quantifies geometric changes in D. radiodurans nucleoids under ionizing radiation using a new high-throughput method, revealing sub-population shifts and roles of nucleic acid binding proteins in nucleoid condensation.
