(2018-01-02)Chloroplasts have to divide to maintain their numbers throughout cycles of cell division by binary fission and conduct photosynthesis and fulfill other metabolic functions that are essential to plant life. Chloroplast ...
-
(2011-08-08)The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus builds a circadian clock on an oscillator comprised of three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, which can recapitulate a circadian rhythm of KaiC phosphorylation in vitro. The ...

(2018-08-03)Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium capable of differentiating into a spore form resistant to both desiccation and heat. Sporulation begins with a single cell possessing two copies of a single, circular genome arranged ...
-
(2014-03-31)Sorghum bicolor is a subtropical grass grown throughout the world for human consumption, animal feed and for the growing biofuels industry. In this thesis I characterize sorghum stem growth and chemical composition, and ...
-
(2017-12-08)Bacterial growth and division requires the careful coordination of peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis and PG hydrolysis, allowing the insertion of new cell wall material at sites of active growth. In many rod-shaped bacteria, ...
-
(2008-05-21)When prototrophic yeast cells undergo continuous growth in nutrient-limited conditions, they experience robust metabolic oscillations. Additionally, the processes of metabolism in yeast cells have been shown to be coordinated ...
-
(1980)An experimental procedure for rapidly obtaining cell populations of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides which exhibit reproducible patterns of division and genomic synchrony has been developed. Specifically, the procedure capitalizes ...
-
(2010-07-14)The longstanding view has been that metabolism allows for cell division to take place, but that metabolic processes do not actively promote cell division. I have recently challenged this notion by identifying a unique ...
-
(2019-07-28)Bacterial chromosomes are compacted in the cytoplasm into a membrane-less structure called the nucleoid. The nucleoid is condensed and organized by a number of DNA-binding proteins that work in concert to establish its ...
-
(2021-03-31)Proper coordination between cell growth and division relies heavily on several metabolic processes such as lipid metabolism. Lipids play indispensable roles both as key signaling molecules and in membrane biogenesis. ...
