Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

This study maps out the diversity and evolution of the bacterial order Caulobacterales, including the model organism C. crescentus, which reveals widespread phototrophy and illuminates the evolution o...

Conducting polymers bridge the gap between abiotic and biotic environments by using ions and electrons as charge carriers. In this review, we explore their roles in infection modeling, where conducti....

Here, we introduce Met-ID, a graphical interface software designed to efficiently identify metabolites from MALDI-MSI datasets. Met-ID enables annotation of m/z features from any type of MALDI-MSI exp...

Bacterial cytokinesis commences when a tubulin-like GTPase, FtsZ, forms a Z-ring to mark the division site. Synchronized movement of Z-ring filaments and peptidoglycan synthesis along the axis of divi...

SSR42 is the longest noncoding RNA in the S. aureus cell and the second-most abundant transcript in the stationary phase transcriptome, second only to RNAIII. It is highly conserved across strains and...

Antibiotic tolerance, the widespread ability of diverse pathogenic bacteria to sustain viability in
