TL;DR: In this paper, a thread of coaligned multicellular filaments of Bacillus subtilis can be used to extend the length scale of inorganic materials patterning, and the resulting pore sizes are commensurate with the packing dimensions of the organic molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe four approaches to the materials synthesis of organized inorganic matter, including self-assembled organic templates (transcriptive synthesis), cooperative assemblies of templates and building blocks (synergistic synthesis), spatially restricted reaction fields (morphosynthesis), and combinations of these approaches (integrative synthesis) in the area of sol−gel chemistry.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis of the mutant by PBS1-mediated transduction and deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation demonstrated that the lesion responsible for these effects (tag-1) is tightly linked to the genes which regulate the glucosylation of teichoic acid in the mid-portion of the chromosome of B. subtilis.

TL;DR: Electron micrographs reveal that minICElls are produced by a structurally normal division mechanism and that minicells contain a normal cell surface, an indication of functional energy metabolism.

TL;DR: Findings show that cell swimming in colonies is highly organized, as well as the movement of marker latex spheres added to colonies, suggesting that cells create flows moving with them into whirls and along jets.
