Developmental Cycle and Genome Analysis of Protochlamydia massiliensis sp. nov. a New Species in the Parachlamydiacae Family

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

The ribonuclease E regulator RebA is essential for diazotrophic growth in the cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 516-526, October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Structural insights into the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ClpP1•ClpP2 heterocomplex and its interactions with the AAA+ ClpX unfoldase

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2017
Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that share a unique but remarkably conserved biphasic developmental cycle that relies on a eukaryotic host cell for survival.

The Impact of Whole‐Animal Fluid Preservation on the Observed Gut Microbiome of Vertebrates: Implications for the Use of Museum Specimens in Microbiome Research

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
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

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2017
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 ...

In Situ Impact of Waste Polyethylene (PE) Films on Soil Quality and Plant Growth in Agricultural Soil

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 14, Page 5054-5065, 30 August 2025.
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,
