Asymmetric envelope surface disposition of secreted protein YjbI controls bimodal antibiotic susceptibilities in C. crescentus - The EMBO Journal Cytoplasmic pentapeptide repeat proteins (PRPs) protect bacterial DNA gyrase from quinolone antibiotics. While some secreted PRPs are essential upon quinolone exposure, their role in the regulation of...

For real thought I was looking at #Caulobacter until I read the caption.

Surprising bacteria discovery links Hawaiʻi's groundwater to the ocean A new species of bacteria has been discovered off the coast of Oʻahu, shedding light on how unseen microbial life connects Hawaiʻi's land and sea ecosystems.

Stress Changes the Material State of a Bacterial Biomolecular Condensate and Shifts its Function from mRNA Decay to Storage Bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) are dynamic biomolecular condensates that play a pivotal role in RNA metabolism. We investigated how BR-bodies significantly influence mRNA fate by trans...

Hadi Yasmine (with @schraderlab.bsky.social): BR body condensates degrade mRNA during exponential phase and store mRNAs during stationary/stress in #Caulobacter; this storage is advantageous as it promotes a faster transition to exponential growth #phages2025 🦠
