Iâm way late with this on March 9th but Iâve watched Paul Kangas for years! He has always epitomized the NBR to me and I will sorely miss him. He was always sharp and crisp and on point.
the bacterial cytoskeleton and cell shape-determining proteins such as MreC, function in concert to orches-trate the localization of cell wall synthetic complexes resulting in spatially co-ordinated and efficient pepti-doglycan synthetic activity. Introduction The distinct morphology of most bacterial cells is dictated by the architecture of the peptidoglycan cell wall. In Gram-negative bacteria, the cell wall is thought to be a single
7-DNA ligase. I: A plasmid of foreign DNA from a dead cell is intercepted by the sex pili of a naturally competent bacterial cell. II: The foreign plasmid is transduced through the sex pili into the bacterial cell, where it is processed by bacterial cell restriction enzymes. The restriction enzymes break the foreign plasmid into a strand of nucleotides that can be added to the bacterial DNA.
