The Mla pathway is believed to be involved in maintaining the asymmetrical Gram-negative
outer membrane via retrograde phospholipid transport. The pathway is composed of three …

Predatory Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are natural antimicrobial organisms, killing other bacteria
by whole-cell invasion. Self-protection against prey-metabolizing enzymes is important for …

Peptidoglycan hydrolases contribute to the generation of helical cell shape in Campylobacter
and Helicobacter bacteria, while cytoskeletal or periskeletal proteins determine the curved, …

The bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP is a widespread, prominent effector of lifestyle
change. An example of this occurs in the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, …

The sulfate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans inhabits both the human gut and
external environments. It can reduce nitrate and nitrite as alternative electron acceptors to …

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a second messenger that modulates multiple responses to
environmental and cellular signals in bacteria. Here we identify CdbA, a DNA-binding protein of …

Growth and division by most bacteria requires remodelling and cleavage of their cell wall. A
byproduct of this process is the generation of free peptidoglycan (PG) fragments known as …

The asymmetric Gram-negative outer membrane (OM) is the first line of defense for bacteria
against environmental insults and attack by antimicrobials. The key component of the OM is …

In silico analyses identified a Crp/Fnr family transcription factor (HcpR) in sulfate‐reducing
bacteria that controls expression of the hcp gene, which encodes the hybrid cluster protein …

Bacterial usage of the cyclic dinucleotide c‐di‐ GMP is widespread, governing the transition
between motile/sessile and unicellular/multicellular behaviors. There is limited information …
