Phylogenomic analysis supports the ancestral presence of LPS-outer membranes in the Firmicutes
One of the major unanswered questions in evolutionary biology is when and how the transition between diderm (two membranes) and monoderm (one membrane) cell envelopes occurred in Bacteria. The Negativicutes and the Halanaerobiales belong to the classically monoderm Firmicutes, but possess outer membranes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS-OM). Here, we show that they form two phylogenetically distinc...
متن کاملOne lump or two?
We investigate methods for modelling metabolism within populations of cells. Typically one represents the interaction of a cloned population of cells with their environment as though it were one large cell. The question is as to whether any dynamics are lost by this assumption, and as to whether it might be more appropriate to instead model each cell individually. We show that it is sufficient ...

متن کاملThe Two - Culture Divide
The slash in the title of Genetic Nature/Culture is a splice, an orthographic recognition that the anthropological orders of nature and culture are being recombined in novel ways in the age of genetics. If Lévi-Strauss saw the structures of kinship as reliably translating nature into culture, the authors in this volume regard the gene and genome as boundary objects fastening together a variety ...
متن کاملPolyelectrolytes between two membranes or colloidal particles
We investigate the equilibrium behaviour of charged polymers of finite length in a Debye-screened potential between two parallel charged walls. For the polymer we take the continuum approximation to calculate the spectrum of eigenfunctions for the partition function. For finite but long polymers only the lowest two terms in this expansion contribute to first order to the configurational sum, co...
