E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Stefanos Giannakis

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

Constriction Rate Modulation Can Drive Cell Size Control and Homeostasis in C. crescentus

Suliana Manley, Seamus John Holden, Anna Archetti, Aster Louis K Vanhecke, Ambroise Justin Lambert, Felix Max Schaber

Rod-shaped bacteria typically grow first via sporadic and dispersed elongation along their lateral walls and then via a combination of zonal elongation and constriction at the division site to form the poles of daughter cells. Although constriction compris ...
