DNA condensation in bacteria: Interplay between macromolecular crowding and nucleoid proteins
R De Vries - Biochimie, 2010 - Elsevier
The volume of a typical Eschericia coli nucleoid is roughly 104 times smaller than the
volume of a freely coiling linear DNA molecule with the same length as the E. coli genome …

Compaction of bacterial genomic DNA: clarifying the concepts
M Joyeux - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The unconstrained genomic DNA of bacteria forms a coil, whose volume exceeds 1000
times the volume of the cell. Since prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, in sharp …

In vitro studies of DNA condensation by bridging protein in a crowding environment
The macromolecules of the bacterial cell occupy 20–40% of the total cytosol volume, and
crowded environments have long been known to compact and stabilize DNA. Nevertheless …

Compaction of isolated Escherichia coli nucleoids: Polymer and H-NS protein synergetics
AS Wegner, K Wintraecken, R Spurio… - Journal of Structural …, 2016 - Elsevier
Escherichia coli nucleoids were compacted by the inert polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG)
in the presence of the H-NS protein. The protein by itself appears to have little impact on the …
