Pyrophosphate-mediated iron acquisition from transferrin in Neisseria meningitidis does not require TonB activity. [PDF]
The ability to acquire iron from various sources has been demonstrated to be a major determinant in the pathogenesis of Neisseria meningitidis.

Kiss and Run – Phosphoglycerol Modifications of N. Meningitidis Pili Mediate Detachment [PDF]
geneity with an increase in the number of residues bearing PG. They further report that inactivation of pptB and substitution of pilin serine residue 93 (a conserved and likely site of PG occupancy in strain 8013) led to an approximately two-fold increase in the number of bacteria found in aggregates.

Nitro Reduction‐Based RNA Control and Ultrafast Release
A chemical RNA caging–uncaging strategy based on nitro reduction is described. Nitroaryl groups introduced via acylation temporarily block the functions of diverse RNAs in vitro and in living cells. Treatment with a diboronic acid–bipyridine mixture rapidly reduces the nitro groups, releasing RNAs and restoring their activity.
