A sudden decrease in pressure triggers the formation of vapour and gas bubbles inside a
liquid medium (also called cavitation). This leads to many (key) engineering problems …

Staphylococcus aureus is an important human and livestock pathogen that is well-protected
against environmental insults by a thick cell wall. Accordingly, the wall is a major target of …

The lipopeptide daptomycin is used as an antibiotic to treat severe infections with gram-
positive pathogens, such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and drug …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are present in nature on the leaves of many plant species.
Water rolls on these surfaces, and the rolling motion picks up particles including bacteria …

This work demonstrates and guides how to use a range of state-of-the-art artificial neural-
networks to analyse bacterial microscopy images using the recently developed …

Secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a process common to eukaryotes, archae, and
bacteria, represents a secretory pathway that allows cell-free intercellular communication …

A number of bacterial cell processes are confined functional membrane microdomains
(FMMs), structurally and functionally similar to lipid rafts of eukaryotic cells. How bacteria …

Peptidoglycan is the main component of the bacterial wall and protects cells from the
mechanical stress that results from high intracellular turgor. Peptidoglycan biosynthesis is …

Bacteria exhibit a myriad of different morphologies, through the synthesis and modification of
their essential peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall. Our discovery of af luorescent da mino a cid …

Spatial organization is a hallmark of all living systems. Even bacteria, the smallest forms of
cellular life, display defined shapes and complex internal organization, showcasing a highly …
