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.
