Bacterial cell division requires septal peptidoglycan (sPG) synthesis by the divisome
complex. Treadmilling of the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ has been implicated in septal …

FtsZ polymerizes into protofilaments to form the Z-ring that acts as a scaffold for accessory
proteins during cell division. Structures of FtsZ have been previously solved, but detailed …

The ability of Escherichia coli O157: H7, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Human
adenovirus serotype 2 (HAdV2) and Murine Norovirus 1 (MNV-1) to survive in river water at …

Bacterial cell division requires synthesis of a septal peptidoglycan (sPG) wall across the
middle of the cell. This is accomplished by the divisome synthesis complex in coordination …

The concept of critical concentration (CC) is central to understanding the behavior of
microtubules (MTs) and other cytoskeletal polymers. Traditionally, these polymers are …

During its progression from the nasopharynx to other sterile and nonsterile niches of its
human host, Streptococcus pneumoniae must cope with changes in temperature. We …

Gene feoA plays an important role in cell growth because of its function of transport Fe2+
which is a necessary element for cells. In this study, the recombinant plasmid pUC19-feoA …

Oxidation and inactivation of FtsZ is of interest due to the key role of this protein in bacterial
cell division. In the present work, we studied peroxyl radical (from AAPH, 2, 2′-azobis (2 …

The motivation for this study is an emerging conceptual shift from the mechanistic dogma
whereby discrete molecular machines perform strictly defined roles to focusing on the …

The complexity of prokaryotic and, exceedingly, of eukaryotic cells, challenges the
implementation of methodologies to determine causality and quantify intracellular dynamics …
