The MatP/matS Site-Specific System Organizes the Terminus Region of the E. coli Chromosome into a Macrodomain [PDF]
, 2008 The organization of the Escherichia coli chromosome into insulated macrodomains influences the segregation of sister chromatids and the mobility of chromosomal DNA.

mSphere, 2018 Bacterial cells need to coordinate the cell cycle with biomass growth to maintain cell size homeostasis. For fast-growing bacterial species like Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, it is well-known that cell size exhibits a strong dependence on the ...

Chromosome segregation impacts on cell growth and division site selection in Corynebacterium glutamicum. [PDF]
, 2013 Spatial and temporal regulation of bacterial cell division is imperative for the production of viable offspring. In many rod-shaped bacteria, regulatory systems such as the Min system and nucleoid occlusion ensure the high fidelity of midcell divisome ...

On the link between cell cycle and infection of the Alphaproteobacterium Brucella abortus
Microbial Cell, 2014 Bacteria of the Brucella genus are responsible for brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis. These bacteria are known to have a peculiar intracellular trafficking, with a first long and non-proliferative endosomal stage and a second proliferation stage, often ...

CRISPR Interference for Rapid Knockdown of Essential Cell Cycle Genes in
mSphere, 2019 Studies of essential genes in bacteria are often hampered by the lack of accessible genetic tools. This is also the case for Lactobacillus plantarum, a key species in food and health applications.

Bacterial DNA Methylation: a Cell Cycle Regulator? [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1999 Although bacterial DNA methyltransferases are generally associated with restriction-modification systems, DNA methylation also regulates chromosome replication, transcription, repair, and most likely other fundamental processes.

(p)ppGpp and the bacterial cell cycle
Journal of Biosciences, 2016 Genes of the Rel/Spo homolog (RSH) superfamily synthesize and/or hydrolyse the modified nucleotides pppGpp/ ppGpp (collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp) and are prevalent across diverse bacteria and in plant chloroplasts. Bacteria accumulate (p)ppGpp in response to nutrient deprivation (generically called the stringent response) and elicit appropriate ...

High Osmolarity Modulates Bacterial Cell Size through Reducing Initiation Volume in
mSphere, 2018 Bacterial cell size is closely associated with biomass growth and cell cycle progression, including chromosome replication and cell division. It is generally proposed that Escherichia coli cells tightly control the timing of chromosome replication ...

Cell cycle regulation by the bacterial nucleoid
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2014 Division site selection presents a fundamental challenge to all organisms. Bacterial cells are small and the chromosome (nucleoid) often fills most of the cell volume. Thus, in order to maximise fitness and avoid damaging the genetic material, cell division must be tightly co-ordinated with chromosome replication and segregation.

Instructive simulation of the bacterial cell division cycle [PDF]
Microbiology, 2011 The coupling between chromosome replication and cell division includes temporal and spatial elements. In bacteria, these have globally been resolved during the last 40 years, but their full details and action mechanisms are still under intensive study.
