Evolution of longitudinal division in multicellular bacteria of the Neisseriaceae family [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Rod-shaped bacteria typically elongate and divide by transverse fission, but a few species are known to divide longitudinally. Here, the authors use genomic, phylogenetic and microscopy techniques to shed light on the evolution of cell shape ...

Dialects of the DNA uptake sequence in Neisseriaceae. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 In all sexual organisms, adaptations exist that secure the safe reassortment of homologous alleles and prevent the intrusion of potentially hazardous alien DNA. Some bacteria engage in a simple form of sex known as transformation.

Sequence-based predictions of lipooligosaccharide diversity in the Neisseriaceae and their implication in pathogenicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Endotoxin [Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Lipooligosaccharide (LOS)] is an important virulence determinant in gram negative bacteria. While the genetic basis of endotoxin production and its role in disease in the pathogenic Neisseria has been extensively ...
