Bistable forespore engulfment in Bacillus subtilis by a zipper mechanism in absence of the cell wall

open access: yes, 2014
To survive starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms durable spores. The initial step of sporulation is asymmetric cell division, leading to a large mother-cell and a small forespore compartment.

Functional characterization of genes mediating cell wall metabolism and responses to plant cell wall integrity impairment

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Plant cell walls participate in all plant-environment interactions. Maintaining cell wall integrity (CWI) during these interactions is essential.

Mucilage extracted from Chilean papaya seeds is enriched with homogalacturonan domains

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Chilean papaya, also known as mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens), is a fruit valued for its nutritional value and pleasant fragrance. The oblong fruit, featuring five ridges and a seed-filled mucilage cavity, is typically consumed cooked due to its

Genomic structural differences between cattle and River Buffalo identified through comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis

open access: yesData in Brief, 2018
Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L.) is an important livestock species worldwide. Like many other livestock species, water buffalo lacks high quality and continuous reference genome assembly, required for fine-scale comparative genomics studies.

A Transcriptomic Analysis of Xylan Mutants Does Not Support the Existence of a Secondary Cell Wall Integrity System in Arabidopsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Yeast have long been known to possess a cell wall integrity (CWI) system, and recently an analogous system has been described for the primary walls of plants (PCWI) that leads to changes in plant growth and cell wall composition.

Pattern selection in a biomechanical model for the growth of walled cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we analyse a model for the growth of three-dimensional walled cells. In this model the biomechanical expansion of the cell is coupled with the geometry of its wall. We consider that the density of building material depends on the curvature

The σE cell envelope stress response of Streptomyces coelicolor is influenced by a novel lipoprotein, Cse A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Contributed to the design of the study and co-authored the paper. The study of cell envelope stress responses is emerging as an important area of bacterial physiology which is of particular significance in understanding how pathogenic bacteria respond to

Scaffolding of long read assemblies using long range contact information

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Long read technologies have revolutionized de novo genome assembly by generating contigs orders of magnitude longer than that of short read assemblies.

Endopeptidase-mediated beta lactam tolerance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
In many bacteria, inhibition of cell wall synthesis leads to cell death and lysis. The pathways and enzymes that mediate cell lysis after exposure to cell wall-acting antibiotics (e.g.
