Approximately 10% of bacterial genomes are split between two or more large DNA
fragments, a genome architecture referred to as a multipartite genome. This multipartite …

The marine bacterium Vibrio natriegens is the fastest‐growing non‐pathogenic bacterium
known to date and is gaining more and more attention as an alternative chassis organism to …

As in eukaryotes, bacterial genomes are not randomly folded. Bacterial genetic information
is generally carried on a circular chromosome with a single origin of replication from which …

The fast-growing Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio natriegens is an attractive microbial
system for molecular biology and biotechnology due to its remarkably short generation time …

Proper chromosome segregation during cell division is essential in all domains of life. In the
majority of bacterial species, faithful chromosome segregation is mediated by the tripartite …

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 …

The genome of all organisms is spatially organized to function efficiently. The advent of
genome-wide chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) methods has revolutionized our ability …

All viable bacterial cells, whether they divide symmetrically or asymmetrically, must
coordinate their growth, division, cell volume and shape with the inheritance of the genome …

The biochemical activities of microbial communities, or microbiomes, are essential parts of
environmental and animal ecosystems. The dynamics, balance, and effects of these …

All cells fold their genomes, including bacterial cells, where the chromosome is compacted
into a domain-organized meshwork called the nucleoid. How compaction and domain …
