Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cell poles in order to
regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organelle development …

Initially dismissed as artifacts during sample preparation or as cell debris in bacterial
cultures, outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are now widely accepted as facsimiles of the …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are ubiquitous membranous structures in all Gram-
negative bacteria, including pathogens and non-pathogens. Gram-positive bacteria also …

Although reversible phosphorylation on tyrosine residues regulates the activity of many
eukaryotic proteins, there are few examples of this type of regulation in bacteria. We have …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are universally produced by prokaryotes and play
important roles in symbiotic and pathogenic interactions. They often contain DNA, but a …

Colicins are protein antibiotics produced by Escherichia coli to kill closely related non-
identical competing species. They have taken advantage of the promiscuity of several …

Spatial and temporal control of cell differentiation and morphogenesis plays a key role in
prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes. This is particularly important for bacteria that divide …

The spatial localization of proteins within the cytoplasm of bacteria is an underappreciated
but critical aspect of cell cycle regulation for many prokaryotes. In Caulobacter crescentus …

To survive in environment, bacteria must constantly maintain structural integrity of their
envelope. All bacteria are separated from a surrounding media with a membrane, however …

In most rod‐shaped bacteria, DNA replication is quickly followed by chromosome
segregation, when one of the newly duplicated centromeres moves across the cell to the …
