Fused nucleoids resegregate faster than cell elongation in Escherichia coli pbpB(Ts) filaments after release from chloramphenicol inhibition

Article Abstract:

The movement of segregating chromosomes in Escherichia coli is traced during and after inhibition of protein synthesis with chloramphenicol. Results reveal that protein synthesis inhibition induces fusion of E. coli nucleoids and arrests cytokinesis. Removal of chloramphenicol from the medium allows resumption of the cell division only after the nucleoids have segregated and migrated at the DNA-free ends of the cell.

Persistence of enterococcus faecalis in aquatic environments via surface interactions with copepods

Article Abstract:

The study demonstrates that in vitro adhesion of Enterococcus faecalis to copepods accelerated the entry of cells into the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state relative to that of planktonic bacteria. VBNC Enterococcus faecalis cells maintained their adhesive properties to copepods and chitin, though to a reduced extent in comparison with growing cells.
