Until recently, microbiologists have relied on cultures to understand the microbial world. As a
result, model organisms have been the focus of research into understanding Bacteria and …

Archaea share genomic similarities with Eukarya and cellular architectural similarities with
Bacteria, though archaeal and bacterial surface layers (S-layers) differ. Using cellular cryo …

Nitrification is a core process in the global nitrogen (N) cycle mediated by ammonia-
oxidizing microorganisms, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) as a key player …

Symmetry in nature often emerges from self-assembly processes and serves a wide range of
functions. Cell surface layers (S-layers) form symmetrical lattices on many bacterial and …

In situ structural biology with cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram
averaging (StA) is evolving as a major method to understand the structure, function, and …

Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) has rapidly advanced as a high-resolution
imaging tool for visualizing subcellular structures in 3D with molecular detail. Direct image …

Corynebacterium glutamicum is a diderm bacterium extensively used in the industrial-scale
