Polyphosphate: The “Dark Matter” of Bacterial Chromatin Structure
Polyphosphate condensates and their contributions to nucleoid structure. Polyphosphate condensates form in the ribosome‐depleted nucleoid region of bacterial cells, particularly under stress (in this case Pseudomonas aeruginosa undergoing nitrogen starvation; adapted with permission from (Racki et al. 2017)). This Perspective explores the emerging view

Intrinsic bent DNA sites in the chromosomal replication origin of Xylella fastidiosa 9a5c
The features of the nucleotide sequences in both replication and promoter regions have been investigated in many organisms. Intrinsically bent DNA sites associated with transcription have been described in several prokaryotic organisms.

Rok from B. subtilis: Bridging genome structure and transcription regulation
In our review on the dual role of B. subtilis Rok as genome organizer and gene regulator, we argue that these two functions are in fact two sides of the same coin and that the coupling between them should be taken into account in further research. We also propose a list of characteristics to aid in determining whether a protein belongs to the H‐NS‐like

Assessing the Efficiency of Bin‐Centered Solid Waste Segregation System in Ashanti Region, Ghana
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) established a waste segregation system that provided plastic waste to feed a plastic recycling facility to improve solid waste management in 2017. However, since the establishment of the segregation system, there has not been any assessment to ascertain its efficiency.

Abstract Vibrio fischeri is a model mutualist for studying molecular processes affecting microbial colonization of animal hosts. We present a detailed protocol for a barcode sequencing (BarSeq) approach that combines targeted gene deletion with short‐read sequencing technology to enable studies of mixed bacterial populations. This protocol includes wet

DNA Hierarchical Superstructures from Micellar Units: Stiff Hydrogels and Anisotropic Nanofibers
Using three different orthogonal interactions – hydrophobic effect, RNA kissing loops, DNA base pairing – we created hierarchical nanostructures from precise DNA amphiphiles. These micron‐sized materials are controlled by the nanoscale structure of the self‐assembled amphiphiles with sequence‐dependent behavior and have found applications as self ...

Abstract Rhodanese‐like domains (RLDs) represent a widespread protein family canonically involved in sulfur transfer reactions between diverse donor and acceptor molecules. RLDs mediate these transsulfuration reactions via a transient persulfide intermediate, created by modifying a conserved cysteine residue in their active sites.
