Check out this tour de force by Nils Meiresonne and colleagues, establishing FLIM-FRET as a reliable way to study protein interactions in live bacteria with spatiotemporal resolution! We open the door to exploring divisome protein interactions during cell division.

FtsW protein-protein interactions visualized in live Staphylococcus aureus cells by FLIM-FRET
The bacterial cell cycle relies on the coordinated and dynamic interactions between division proteins and those involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis. However, visualizing these interactions in viv...

Why do lower-resolution images sometimes yield better results in deep learning for bioimaging analyses? 🤔📉 Mariana Ferreira's new preprint on
#ReScale4DL
explores this paradox and introduces optimal resolution design!

Chromosome segregation dynamics during the cell cycle of Staphylococcus aureus
Research on chromosome organization and cell cycle progression in spherical bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited and fragmented. In this study, we established a working model ...

Can't wait for this new meeting on drug resistance and tolerance across species and diseases. A principle revealed in one system – maybe using different terminology – could be the big new idea when imported to another! Abstract deadline in January!

Super nice work from Simon Schäper showing that septal peptidoglycan synthases in S. aureus are not driven by FtsZ treadmilling. Instead they follow a one track model and their processive movement is dependent on peptidoglycan synthesis.

Cell constriction requires processive septal peptidoglycan synthase movement independent of FtsZ treadmilling in Staphylococcus aureus - Nature Microbiology
Single-molecule imaging reveals that peptidoglycan synthesis and synthase activity, rather than FtsZ treadmilling, are rate limiting and drive septum constriction in Staphylococcus aureus.
