Amoeba-associated microorganisms (AAMs) are frequently isolated from water networks. In this paper, we report the isolation and characterization of Protochlamydia massiliensis, an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the ...

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.

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 ...

Chlamydia muridarum infection of macrophages elicits bactericidal nitric oxide production via reactive oxygen species and cathepsin B [PDF]
The ability of certain species of Chlamydia to inhibit the biogenesis of phagolysosomes permits their survival and replication within macrophages. The survival of macrophage-adapted chlamydiae correlates with the multiplicity of infection (MOI), and ...

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.

Twenty years of research into Chlamydia-like organisms: a revolution in our understanding of the biology and pathogenicity of members of the phylum Chlamydiae [PDF]
Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that share a unique but remarkably conserved biphasic developmental cycle that relies on a eukaryotic host cell for survival.

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

Chlamydia trachomatis’ struggle to keep its host alive
Bacteria of the phylum Chlamydiae infect a diverse range of eukaryotic host species, including vertebrate animals, invertebrates, and even protozoa. Characteristics shared by all Chlamydiae include their obligate intracellular lifestyle and a biphasic ...

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,
