Changes in growth rate must be accompanied by changes ... Recent work suggests that, instead of being a single process, the bacterial cell cycle is a set of coordinated but independent events ...

Researchers have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division ... cell division and DNA replication for thousands of cell cycles in several growth conditions. Computational modelling was ...

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

The investigators found that growth and replication of this microbe ... Adaptor Hierarchy Regulates Proteolysis during a Bacterial Cell Cycle.” Taking a classical biochemical approach to the ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

In bacteria, the cell cycle is very tightly controlled by protein-digesting enzymes called proteases that selectively destroy other proteins, called substrates, at appropriate times while the cell is ...

For TB bacteria, growth rates can be the same whether they are newly born (and small) or far along in their cell cycle and soon to divide. This is the first reported organism that can do this.

from bacteria to humans, possess a circadian clock—a biological mechanism that synchronizes activities such as rest or growth to daily changes in a 24-hour day. Although the circadian clock is ...

They derived their theory from a simple yet interesting observation: The growth rate of bacteria and their sensitivity to signaling molecules seem to be related. "We discovered that the slower a ...

Their findings show that, in bacteria, the cell cycle starts and ends with the ... cell division and DNA replication for thousands of cell cycles in several growth conditions. Computational modelling ...
