Bacterial Strategies to Preserve Cell Wall Integrity Against Environmental Threats

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Bacterial cells are surrounded by an exoskeleton-like structure, the cell wall, composed primarily of the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus. This structure is made up of glycan strands cross-linked by short peptides generating a covalent mesh that shapes ...

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Off the wall: characterisation and exploitation of a cell wall-deficient life style in filamentous actinomycetes

, 2019
Almost all bacteria are enveloped by a cell wall that provides cellular protection. In this thesis I show that some filamentous actinomycetes have a surprising natural ability to adopt a cell wall-deficient life style.

Modulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis by Recycled Cell Wall Tetrapeptides

, 2020
The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan (PG), a polymer that is essential for the maintenance of cell shape and survival. During growth, bacteria remodel their PG, releasing fragments that are predominantly reinternalized and recycled.

Perception of the Cell wall integrity system signals in plant cells [PDF]

, 2022
The cell wall is a key compartment of the plant cell for elementary physiological processes such as cell growth, division, or differentiation, simultaneously protecting the cell from influences of the external environment.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Activation of the ChvG–ChvI pathway promotes survival during cell wall stress in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Agrobacterium tumefaciens shifts from a free-living soil bacterium to a plantinvading state upon encountering the plant root microenvironment. The acid-induced twocomponent sensor system ChvG–ChvI drives this shift and triggers a complex transcriptional ...

Spatially Regulated Silicon Clusters in Trimodal Composite Anodes for High‐Energy Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A trimodal anode architecture spatially regulates silicon clusters within confined interstitial environments formed by graphite and contorted hexabenzocoronene. This confinement suppresses silicon aggregation and localized stress while enabling efficient Li‐ion transport, achieving high‐capacity, stable lithium‐ion batteries.
