Great work by Benjamin Springstein @huepfkiesel.bsky.social
and the lab of Martin Loose @nartimsoole.bsky.social.
Really stunning finding of the evolutionary repurposing of a DNA segregation machinery into a cell shape cytoskeletal system in cyanobacteria. Make sure to have a look!

One of the most exciting discoveries from our lab so far is now online as a preprint!

Read a story on how the ParMR and Min systems started to collaborate to create the CorMR cytoskeleton, which now controls cell shape in multicellular cyanobacteria:

Evolutionary repurposing of a DNA segregation machinery into a cytoskeletal system controlling cyanobacterial cell shape
Bacteria, despite their diversity, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for their intracellular organization. In unicellular bacteria, the ParMRC DNA partitioning apparatus is well known for forming act...
