Photobiology of Bacteria [PDF]
The field of photobiology is concerned with the interactions between light and living matter. For Bacteria this interaction serves three recognisable physiological functions: provision of energy, protection against excess radiation and signalling (for motility and gene expression).

SUMMARYWork on two diverse rod-shaped bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, has defined a set of about 10 conserved proteins that are important for cell division in a wide range of eubacteria. These proteins are directed to the division site by the combination of two negative regulatory systems.

The languages of bacteria [PDF]
Bacteria communicate with one another using chemical signaling molecules as words. Specifically, they release, detect, and respond to the accumulation of these molecules, which are called autoinducers. Detection of autoinducers allows bacteria to distinguish between low and high cell population density, and to control gene expression in response to ...

Light-controlled bacteria-surface and bacteria-bacteria adhesions
In bacterial biofilms, collective functions arise from the social interactions and spatial organization of bacteria. Controlling bacterial adhesion as key steps in biofilm formation with high spatial and temporal precision is essential for controlling the formation, organization and microstructure of biofilms.
