Interaction and Signalling Networks:a report from the fourth 'Young Microbiologists Symposium on Microbe Signalling, Organisation and Pathogenesis' [PDF]
At the end of June, over 120 microbiologists from 18 countries gathered in Dundee, Scotland for the fourth edition of the Young Microbiologists Symposium on ‘Microbe Signalling, Organisation and Pathogenesis’.

The archaellum: a rotating type
SummaryMicrobes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms of motility allowing them to respond to changing environmental conditions. While this cellular process is well characterized in bacteria, the mode and mechanisms of motility are poorly understood in archaea.

Structural conservation of chemotaxis machinery across Archaea and Bacteria [PDF]
Chemotaxis allows cells to sense and respond to their environment. In Bacteria, stimuli are detected by arrays of chemoreceptors that relay the signal to a two-component regulatory system.

In Methanococcus maripaludis, the euryarchaeal archaellum regulator A (EarA) is required for the transcription of the fla operon, which is comprised of a series of genes which encode most of the proteins needed for the formation of the archaeal swimming ...

Gene deletions leading to a reduction in the number of cyclopentane rings in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius tetraether lipids [PDF]
The cell membrane of (hyper)thermophilic archaea, including the thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, incorporate dibiphytanylglycerol tetraether lipids.

Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula [PDF]
Several haloarchaea are reported to be pleomorphic, while others exhibit remarkable shapes, such as squares. Recently, Haloferax volcanii was found to alter its morphology during growth.

Architecture of the type IVa pilus machine [PDF]
Many bacteria, including important pathogens, move by projecting grappling-hook–like extensions called type IV pili from their cell bodies. After these pili attach to other cells or objects in their environment, the bacteria retract the pili to pull ...

Exploring Complex Cellular Membranes:Lipid Modifications in Extremophilic Archaea and Filamentous Fungi [PDF]
Since the existence of the microbial world, cellular membranes have been essential for the foundation of life. Each domain of life harbors a few signature lipids, and some lipid species are shared among the three domains of life, i.e., the archaea ...

It was recently shown that haloarchaeal strains of different genera are able to adhere to surfaces and form surface-attached biofilms. However the surface structures mediating the adhesion were still unknown.

Twitch or swim: towards the understanding of prokaryotic motion based on the type IV pilus blueprint [PDF]
This is the final version of the article. Available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.Bacteria and archaea are evolutionarily distinct prokaryotes that diverged from a common ancestor billions of years ago.
