Investigation of singlet‐oxygen‐responsive genes in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 4, July/August 2024.Abstract Singlet oxygen (1O2) is an important reactive oxygen species whose formation by the type‐II, light‐dependent, photodynamic reaction is inevitable during photosynthetic processes. In the last decades, the recognition that 1O2 is not only a damaging agent, but can also affect gene expression and participates in signal transduction pathways has ...

DipM, a new factor required for peptidoglycan remodelling during cell division in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
, 2010 In bacteria, cytokinesis is dependent on lytic enzymes that facilitate remodelling of the cell wall during constriction. In this work, we identify a thus far uncharacterized periplasmic protein, DipM, that is required for cell division and polarity in ...
