Cell cycle constraints on capsulation and bacteriophage susceptibility

Cell cycle constraints on capsulation and bacteriophage susceptibility

Despite the crucial role of bacterial capsules in pathogenesis, it is still unknown if systemic cues such as the cell cycle can control capsule biogenesis. In this study, we show that the capsule of the synchronizable model bacterium Caulobacter crescentus is cell cycle regulated and we unearth a ba...
