Mitochondria emerged from bacterial ancestors during endosymbiosis and are crucial for
cellular processes such as energy production and homeostasis, stress responses, cell …

One of the fundamental features of biomembranes is the ability to fuse or to separate. These
processes called respectively membrane fusion and fission are central in the homeostasis of …

Genomically minimal cells, such as JCVI-syn3. 0, offer a platform to clarify genes underlying
core physiological processes. Although this minimal cell includes genes essential for …

Bacterial cell division is a complex, dynamic process that requires multiple protein
components to orchestrate its progression. Many division proteins are highly conserved …

Plantaricin E/F (PlnEF) is a pair of two-component class IIb bacteriocin produced by lactic
acid bacteria. PlnEF commonly displays potent antimicrobial activity against certain Gram …

Serratia proteamaculans synthesizes the intracellular metalloprotease protealysin. This work
was aimed at searching for bacterial substrates of protealysin among the proteins …

The plant cytoskeletal proteins play a key role that control cytoskeleton dynamics,
contributing to crucial biological processes such as cell wall morphogenesis, stomatal …

Historically, many species of bacteria have been reported to produce viable, cell wall
deficient (CWD) variants. A variety of terms have been used to refer to CWD bacteria and a …

The chapter provides an overview of the main bacterial morphological features, highlights
differences between gram-positive and gram-negative cell wall composition, and describes …

Monitoring of bacterial biofilm formation on liquid–solid interfaces is crucial in microbiology
and infection prevention. Many common measurement techniques are not able to detect …
