Bacteria respond to nutrient starvation implementing the stringent response, a stress
signaling system resulting in metabolic remodeling leading to decreased growth rate and …

Energy status in all eukaryotic cells is sensed by AMP-kinases. We have previously found
that the poly-histidine tract at the N-terminus of S. cerevisiae AMPK (Snf1) inhibits its function …

Reports of the requirement of metals for microbial growth and their toxicity feature amongst
the earliest articles published in Microbiology (see for example [1, 2]. Now that we are …

The host limits Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) by enriching copper in high
concentrations. This research investigates how Mtb escapes copper stress. The membrane …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major challenges humans are facing this
century. Understanding the mechanisms behind the rise of AMR is therefore crucial to …

The last special edition dedicated to mycobacteria was in 2003 and focused on the promise
of the post-genomic era to deliver significant advances in mycobacterial research [1]. In the …

I am the first author for all work presented in this thesis. I am responsible for the experimental
design, conducting of research, data interpretation and generation of figures except where …

Bacteria respond to nutrient deprivation by activating the stringent response, a stress
signalling system that leads to metabolic remodelling and a reduction in growth rate and …

As we move into the summer, it's the time to get your writing hat on and start preparing your
next submission to a Microbiology Society journal. To help with submission to Microbiology …
