Sporulation is a specialized developmental program employed by a diverse set of bacteria
which culminates in the formation of dormant cells displaying increased resilience to …

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, an obligate predatory Gram-negative bacterium that proliferates
inside and kills other Gram-negative bacteria, was discovered more than 60 years ago …

Streptomyces are soil bacteria with complex life cycle. During sporulation Streptomyces
linear chromosomes become highly compacted so that the genetic material fits within limited …

Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces have a linear chromosome, with a core region and two
'arms'. During their complex life cycle, these bacteria develop multi-genomic hyphae that …

In bacteria, the dynamics of chromosome replication and segregation are tightly coordinated
with cell-cycle progression and largely rely on specific spatiotemporal arrangement of the …

Streptomyces thermoautotrophicus UBT1 T has been suggested to merit generic status due
to its phylogenetic placement and distinctive phenotypes among Actinomycetia. To evaluate …

Lsr2 is a small nucleoid-associated protein found throughout the actinobacteria. Lsr2
functions similarly to the well-studied H-NS, in that it preferentially binds AT-rich sequences …

Streptomyces are soil-and marine-dwelling microbes that need to survive dramatic
fluctuations in nutrient levels and environmental conditions. Here, we explore the advances …

Bacteria have developed a wide range of strategies to respond to stress, one of which is the
rapid large-scale reorganization of their nucleoid. Nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs) are …

Streptomycetes possess numerous gene clusters and the potential to produce a large
amount of natural products. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors play an important role in …
