  • The actin-like protein MreB coordinates the synthesis of the cell wall, which determines cell shape in bacteria. Here, Bratton et al. show that the transmembrane protein RodZ modulates MreB polymer number and curvature preference, contributing to the cylindrical uniform shape of E. coli cells.

  • Grinnell et. al report a new mechanism of antibiotic tolerance in rod-shaped bacteria that is dependent on cell density and which specifically targets the cell wall elongation system. Their findings suggest that simultaneous disruption of both the elongasome and the divisome may be an efficient way of overcoming density-dependent growth resistance.
