How bacteria grow and divide while retaining a defined shape is a fundamental question in
microbiology, but technological advances are now driving a new understanding of how the …

The initial steps toward optical detection and spectroscopy of single molecules in
condensed matter arose out of the study of inhomogeneously broadened optical absorption …

Recent advances in far-field optical nanoscopy have enabled fluorescence imaging with a
spatial resolution of 20 to 50 nanometers. Multicolor super-resolution imaging, however …

Rod-shaped bacteria elongate by the action of cell wall synthesis complexes linked to
underlying dynamic MreB filaments. To understand how the movements of these filaments …

The peptidoglycan cell wall and the actin-like MreB cytoskeleton are major determinants of
cell shape in rod-shaped bacteria. The prevailing model postulates that helical, membrane …

We employ a novel framework for information-optimal microscopy to design a family of point
spread functions (PSFs), the Tetrapod PSFs, which enable high-precision localization of …

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th edition provides basic, clear and concise
knowledge and practical information about working with microorganisms. Useful to anyone …

Bacterial cells possess multiple cytoskeletal proteins involved in a wide range of cellular
processes. These cytoskeletal proteins are dynamic, but the driving forces and cellular …

The ability to detect single molecules in live bacterial cells enables us to probe biological
events one molecule at a time and thereby gain knowledge of the activities of intracellular …

Our understanding of endocytosis has evolved remarkably in little more than a decade. This
is the result not only of advances in our knowledge of its molecular and biological workings …
