Biofilms are structured microbial communities that underlie many chronic infections, including periodontal disease. Their resilience to antimicrobial treatments and immune responses presents major clinical challenges. Yet, the structural changes bacteria undergo during biofilm formation and the stru...

Vibrio cholerae is highly motile by the action of a single polar flagellum. The loss of motility reduces the infectivity of V. cholerae, demonstrating that motility is an important virulence factor. FlrC is the sigma-54-dependent positive regulator of flagellar genes. Recently, the genes VC2206 (flg...

In the syntrophic interaction between fermentative bacteria (Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum) and methanogenic archaea (methanogens: Methanothemobacter thermautotrophicus), reducing equivalents (e.g., H2) produced by fermentative bacteria should efficiently be consumed by methanogens in order for th...

Bacteria growing as surface-adherent biofilms are better able to withstand chemical and physical stresses than their unattached, planktonic counterparts. Using transcriptional profiling and quantitative PCR, we observed a previously uncharacterized gene, yjfO, to be upregulated during Escherichia co...

Using electron cryo-tomography (ECT), we show that, in three bacterial species, the flagellar motor disassembly process results in stable outer-membrane-embedded sub-complexes. These sub-complexes consist of the periplasmic embellished P- and L-rings, and bend the membrane inward while it remains ap...

Proteus mirabilis is an opportunistic pathogen that causes urinary tract infections in immunocompromised patients. Flagellar motility coupled with the ability to differentiate from short swimmer cells to highly elongated swarmer cells constitute key parts of the infection process. The mechanism by w...
