The paper introduces MEDUSSA, a deep-learning method for precise bacterial cell-size profiling from fluorescent membrane images, revealing significant cell volume variation across strains.

This study shows how single capsid mutations in {Phi}X174 phage alter adsorption, persistence, and plaque morphology, shaping evolutionary trajectories under different transfer conditions.

The paper shows that MdfA and ClpCP protease regulate metabolic differentiation in Bacillus subtilis sporulation by depleting metabolic enzymes in the forespore.

This study shows that catabolism of germinant amino acids prevents premature spore germination in Bacillus subtilis by clearing these metabolites from the environment.
