The genus Mycobacterium is best known for its two major pathogenic species, M.
tuberculosis and M. leprae, the causative agents of two of the world's oldest diseases …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria defy many microbiological concepts
and share numerous properties with both eukaryotes and archaea. Among their most …

Liposomes are versatile supramolecular assemblies widely used in basic and applied
sciences. Here we present a novel microfluidics-based method, octanol-assisted liposome …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are the last major addition to the
nitrogen-cycle (N-cycle). Because of the presumed inert nature of ammonium under anoxic …

Ancestral homologues of the major eukaryotic cytoskeletal families, tubulin and actin, play
critical roles in cytokinesis of bacterial cells. FtsZ is the ancestral homologue of tubulin and …

FtsA is an early component of the Z‐ring, the structure that divides most bacteria, formed by
tubulin‐like FtsZ. FtsA belongs to the actin family of proteins, showing an unusual …

The regulatory network for the uptake of Escherichia coli autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is comprised of
a transporter complex, LsrABCD; its repressor, LsrR; and a cognate signal kinase, LsrK. This …

FtsZ, a GTPase distributed in the cytoplasm of most bacteria, is the major component of the
machinery responsible for division (the divisome) in Escherichia coli. It interacts with …

Cell division in bacteria is carried out by about a dozen proteins which assemble at midcell
and form a complex known as the divisome. To study the dynamics and temporal hierarchy …

The present study endeavours to assess the toxic effect of synthesized CdS nanoparticles
(NPs) on Escherichia coli and HeLa cells. The CdS NPs were characterized by DLS, XRD …
