Compaction and transport properties of newly replicated Caulobacter crescentus DNA

Caulobacter crescentus

shaped by their activity — both intrinsic and environment induced — and how these networks support the brain computations that underlie externally observable behavior. The second major challenge facing our young field will be applying the basic discoveries we are making to important real-world issues. It is a widely held view that understanding the brain bases of cognitive and behavioral develo...

Physiochemical properties of Caulobacter crescentus holdfast: a localized bacterial adhesive.

To colonize surfaces, the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus employs a polar polysaccharide, the holdfast, located at the end of a thin, long stalk protruding from the cell body. Unlike many other bacteria which adhere through an extended extracellular polymeric network, the holdfast footprint area is tens of thousands times smaller than that of the total bacterium cross-sectional surface, making...

Analysis of caulobacter crescentus lipids.

The lipids of Caulobacter crescentus, a procaryotic species which differentiates into stalked and swarmer cell types, were analyzed. Major lipid classes were purified by chromatography and identified by both chromatographic and chemical methods. Approximately half of the total lipid fraction of this organism consisted of glycolipis, which were primarily monoglucosyldiglyceride and an acylated g...

Generalized Transduction in CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS.

Two closely related bacteriophage, varphiCr30 and varphiCr35, are the first bacteriophage shown to mediate generalized transduction in Caulobacter crescentus. Unlike most other transducing phage, they are virulent and do not form any sort of lysogenic relationship with their host. However, they are rather inefficient at adsorption, so that transductants have a good chance of survival. The phage...
