Cell wall precursors are required to organize the chlamydial division septum. [PDF]
Members of the Chlamydiales order are major bacterial pathogens that divide at mid-cell, without a sequence homologue of the FtsZ cytokinetic tubulin and without a classical peptidoglycan cell wall.

Abstract Ribonuclease E (RNase E) is central to bacterial RNA metabolism. In cyanobacteria, its activity is inhibited by RebA, a key mechanism for controlling cell morphology. Here, we demonstrate that rebA is essential for diazotrophic growth of Anabaena PCC 7120, a filamentous cyanobacterium capable of forming heterocysts—specialized nitrogen‐fixing ...

Architecture and host interface of environmental chlamydiae revealed by electron cryotomography [PDF]
Chlamydiae comprise important pathogenic and symbiotic bacteria that alternate between morphologically and physiologically different life stages during their developmental cycle.

Analysis of polymorphic membrane protein expression in cultured cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as candidate factors in pathogenesis and immunity to infection [PDF]
The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Abstract ClpXP and other AAA+ proteases play central roles in bacterial proteostasis by degrading misfolded and regulatory proteins. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ClpXP consists of the ClpX unfoldase and ClpP peptidase, which influence critical adaptive processes contributing to stress resistance. P.

Chlamydia trachomatis, the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease agent worldwide, enters a viable, non-dividing and non-infectious state (historically termed persistence and more recently referred to as the chlamydial stress response) when ...

Early MicroRNA expression profile as a prognostic biomarker for the development of pelvic inflammatory disease in a mouse model of chlamydial genital infection [PDF]
It is not currently possible to predict the probability of whether a woman with a chlamydial genital infection will develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

ABSTRACT The vertebrate gut houses diverse microbial communities that provide insights into their host's ecological and evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, microbiome research has not been distributed equally across host taxonomy, geography and timescales. The millions of fluid‐preserved specimens stored in natural history museums worldwide represent

ABSTRACT Plastic films have accumulated in soil ecosystems over decades of agricultural activities. These films potentially disrupt the soil structure, hinder nutrient cycling, and deteriorate soil quality. However, there is still a substantial knowledge gap in understanding how real‐world waste polyethylene films (WPEFs), with varied shapes and sizes,

Dynamic interactions that govern the balance between host and pathogen determine the outcome of infection and are shaped by evolutionary pressures. Eukaryotic hosts have evolved elaborate and formidable defense mechanisms that provide the basis for ...
