Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

How to adapt to a changing environment is a fundamental, recurrent problem confronting
cells. One solution is for cells to organize their constituents into a limited number of spatially …

Many recent reviews in the field of bacterial chromosome segregation propose that newly
replicated DNA is actively separated by the functioning of specific proteins. This view is …

Bacterial membrane and nucleoids were stained concurrently by the lipophilic styryl dye FM
4‐64 [N‐(3‐triethylammoniumpropyl)‐4‐(6‐(4‐(diethylamino) phenyl) hexatrienyl) …

Over the past 3 years, bacterial transcriptomics has undergone a massive revolution.
Increased sequencing capacity and novel tools have made it possible to explore the …

Recent advances in bacterial cell biology have revealed unanticipated structural and
functional complexity, reminiscent of eukaryotic cells. Particular progress has been made in …

In addition to playing a central role as a permeability barrier for controlling the diffusion of
molecules and ions in and out of bacterial cells, phospholipid (PL) membranes regulate the …

Previously observed effects of rifampicin and chloramphenicol indicate that transcription and
translation activity strongly affect the coarse spatial organization of the bacterial cytoplasm …

The signal recognition particle (SRP) and its membrane-bound receptor represent a
ubiquitous protein-targeting device utilized by organisms as different as bacteria and …

In Escherichia coli the genome must be compacted∼ 1,000-fold to be contained in a cellular
structure termed the nucleoid. It is proposed that the structure of the nucleoid is determined …
