MreB filaments align along greatest principal membrane curvature to orient cell wall synthesis
eLife, 2018 MreB is essential for rod shape in many bacteria. Membrane-associated MreB filaments move around the rod circumference, helping to insert cell wall in the radial direction to reinforce rod shape.

Extreme slow growth as alternative strategy to survive deep starvation in bacteria
Nature Communications, 2019 Bacteria can become dormant or form spores when starved for nutrients. Here, Gray et al. describe an alternative strategy, or ‘oligotrophic growth state’, showing that non-sporulating Bacillus subtilis cells can survive deep starvation conditions by ...
