New preprint from the Diepold lab describing major chromosome and plasmid rearrangements during secretion in Y. enterocolitica! 🦠🔬 Happy that I could contribute a bit 👇
New preprint:
Virulence does not come for free - activity of the T3SS stops bacterial growth.
We show that in Y. enterocolitica, activating secretion triggers major DNA rearrangements.
Could this be the key to secretion-associated growth inhibition?

Hey bacteriologists!
I want to test fluorescent proteins on different locations within E. coli cells and search for good membrane anchoring and periplasmic leading sequences. What are good candidates?
