Our first foray into anaerobic bacterial cell biology is out! Nice collaboration with the lab of Karoline Faust to determine how growth stage and interspecies interactions shape the cell biology and cell cycle of human gut bacteria B. thetaiotaomicron and R. intestinalis. #MicroSky

E. Coli with linear growth 🦠🤯 #micdosky "linear proliferation for a finite number of generations" where only one daughter cell continues to divide, with split cyaA making cAMP only in one daughter cell. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Engineering non-exponential proliferation in Escherichia coli using functionalized protein aggregates
Uncurbed exponential proliferation might not always be required for genetically modified microorganisms, and might even cause unpredictable liabilities in their behavior and impact. We therefore const...

Chromosome segregation dynamics during the cell cycle of Staphylococcus aureus
Research on chromosome organization and cell cycle progression in spherical bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited and fragmented. In this study, we established a working model ...
