Predicting chemical environments of bacteria from receptor signaling
Diana Clausznitzer, Gabriele Micali, Silke Neumann +2
Sensory systems have evolved to respond to input stimuli of certain statistical properties, and to reliably transmit this information through biochemical pathways. Hence, for an ex…
The mechanism of phagocytosis: two stages of engulfment
David M. Richards, Robert G. Endres
Despite being of vital importance to the immune system, the mechanism by which cells engulf relatively large solid particles during phagocytosis is still poorly understood. From mo…
Bistable forespore engulfment in Bacillus subtilis by a zipper mechanism in absence of the cell wall
Nikola Ojkic, Javier López-Garrido, Kit Pogliano +1
To survive starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms durable spores. The initial step of sporulation is asymmetric cell division, leading to a large mother-cell and a small…
