IDCases, 2023 Caulobacter species are aerobic Gram-negative bacilli initially isolated from aquatic environments and are an uncommon cause of human infection. We report a case of bloodstream infection and postoperative meningitis caused by Caulobacter spp.

Journal of Bacteriology, 1977 Flagellins from 17 Caulobacter strains were partially purified. Their molecular weights and immunological properties indicated that a two-component flagellin system is common among Caulobacters.

PLoS Biology, 2022 Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are prophage-like entities found in many bacterial genomes that cannot propagate themselves and instead package approximately 5 to 15 kbp fragments of the host genome that can then be transferred to related recipient cells ...

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 The cell cycle of Caulobacter crescentus involves the polar morphogenesis and an asymmetric cell division driven by precise interactions and regulations of proteins, which makes Caulobacter an ideal model organism for investigating bacterial cell ...

DecodingCaulobacterdevelopment [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2012 Caulobacter crescentus uses a multi-layered system of oscillating regulators to program different developmental fates into each daughter cell at division. This is achieved by superimposing gene expression, subcellular localization, phosphorylation, and regulated proteolysis to form a complex regulatory network that integrates chromosome replication ...

Degradation of Lon in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2020 Proteases are essential, but unrestrained activity can also kill cells by degrading essential proteins. The quality-control protease Lon must degrade many misfolded and native substrates. We show that Lon is itself controlled through proteolysis and that bypassing this control results in toxic consequences for the cell.

iScience, 2023 Summary: The crescent-shaped bacterium Caulobacter crescentus divides asymmetrically into a sessile (stalked) cell and a motile (flagellated) cell. This dimorphic cell division cycle is driven by the asymmetric appearance of scaffolding proteins at the ...

Transposon mutagenesis in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 Transposons Tn5 (Km) and Tn7 (Tp and Sm) were transferred to Caulobacter crescentus via P-type antibiotic resistance factors. Transposition was demonstrated by the isolation of chromosomal insertions of each transposon. With C. crescentus strains harboring RP4 aphA::Tn7, the introduction of a wild-type RP4 resulted in the loss of the resident plasmid ...

The Aerotactic Response of Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 Many motile microorganisms are able to detect chemical gradients in their surroundings to bias their motion toward more favorable conditions. In this study, we observe the swimming patterns of Caulobacter crescentus, a uniflagellated bacterium, in a linear oxygen gradient produced by a three-channel microfluidic device.
