  1. #Celldivision protein FtsK coordinates bacterial #chromosome segregation and daughter cell separation in #Staphylococcus #aureus
    Helena Veiga, Mariana Pinho et al show #FtsK interacts with the #chaperone #Triggerfactor and establishes its gradient towards the #septum to promote stability and export of the #peptidoglycan #hydrolase Sle1.

  2. Very impressive.

    #Bioinformatics based #Bioprospecting to identify #hydrolase enzymes with #plastic #PET (polyethylene terephthalate) #biodegradation capabilities.

    This new research in #NatureCommunications allows identification of novel hydrolases from four bacterial phyla with expressed enzymes showing activity across pH4.5 to 9 and from 30 to 70 degrees C.
