coli strain, harboring the wild-type S. coelicolor PCC, which produced the highest 6-dEB titer, is 1.2%, which is in good agreement with what has been previously reported in literature.29 However, using flux balance analysis, the maximum theoretical molar yield of 6-dEB was calculated to ...
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are known to inactivate eukaryotic ribosomes, which results in the inhibition of protein synthesis, but there has been no evidence that they inactivate the ribosomes of Escherichia coli. Recently, Mirabilis antiviral protein (MAP), a RIP, has been shown to in...
The Escherichia coli K-12 yfgF gene encodes a protein with domains associated with cyclic di-GMP signalling: GGDEF (associated with diguanylate cyclase activity) and EAL (associated with cyclic di-GMP phosphodiesterase activity). Here, it is shown that yfgF is expressed under anaerobic conditions...

Escherichia coli is both a harmless commensal in the intestines of many mammals, as well as a dangerous pathogen. The evolutionary paths taken by strains of this species in the commensal-to-pathogen transition are complex and can involve changes both in
Escherichia coli is the leading cause of neonatal Gram-negative bacterial meningitis, but the pathogenesis of E. coli meningitis remains elusive. E. coli penetration of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is the critical step for development of meningitis. He
In the present study, we test whether age (i.e. the time elapsed since birth) or size is a determinant of cell division inE. coli. To do so, we analyzed two datasets derived from two major single-cell experimental studies onE. coligrowth, performed by Stewartet al.[25] and Wanget al...
