Abstract: As an important receptor in a host's immune and metabolic systems, NOD1 is usually activated by Gram-negative bacteria having meso-diaminopimelic acid (m-DAP) in their peptidoglycan (PGN). But some atypical Gram-positive bacteria also contain m-DAP in… read more here.

Abstract: The diversity of cell shapes across the bacterial kingdom reflects evolutionary pressures that have produced physiologically important morphologies. While efforts have been made to understand the regulation of some prototypical cell morphologies such as that… read more here.
