The Flp-FRT site-specific recombination system from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a
powerful and efficient tool for high-throughput genetic analysis of bacteria in the …

Self-assembly is a promising route for micro-and nano-fabrication with potential to
revolutionise many areas of technology, including personalised medicine. Here we …

The l-arabinose-responsive AraC and its cognate PBAD promoter underlie one of the most
often used chemically inducible prokaryotic gene expression systems in microbiology and …

The can (previously yadF) gene of Escherichia coli encodes a β-class carbonic anhydrase
(CA), an enzyme which interconverts CO2 and bicarbonate. Various essential metabolic …

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is defined by aggregative adherence (AA) to
HEp‐2 cells, where bacteria display adherence to cell surfaces and also to the intervening …

We study catalytic Janus particles and Escherichia coli bacteria swimming in a two-
dimensional colloidal crystal. The Janus particles orbit individual colloids and hop between …

Operons are a major feature of all prokaryotic genomes, but how and why operon structures
vary is not well understood. To elucidate the life-cycle of operons, we compared gene order …

Metabolism is an integrated network of biochemical pathways that assemble to generate the
robust, responsive physiologies of microorganisms. Despite decades of fundamental studies …

Transcriptional regulators, such as SoxS, RamA, MarA, and Rob, which upregulate the
AcrAB efflux pump, have been shown to be associated with multidrug resistance in clinically …

Motile bacteria are known to accumulate at surfaces, eventually leading to changes in
bacterial motility and biofilm formation. We use a novel two-color, three-dimensional …
