Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

They kill bacteria by interacting with their cell-wall peptidoglycan, rather than permeabilizing their membranes, and synergize with antibacterial peptides. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

The authors could also compare the radial dimensions of the nucleoid with cell width to confirm that the nucleoid is radially confined across all conditions, a critical assumption of the model.
