Chromosome organization shapes replisome dynamics in Caulobacter crescentus

Suliana Manley, Laurent Casini, Chen Zhang

DNA replication in bacteria takes place on highly compacted chromosomes, where segregation, transcription, and repair must occur simultaneously. Within this dynamic environment, colocalization of sister replisomes has been observed in many bacterial specie ...

Resolving bacterial cell biology: from replisome dynamics to cell wall synthesis

Chen Zhang

Bacteria are ubiquitous single cellular organisms. Compared to eukaryotic cells, bacteria have two unique characteristics: the membrane-less nucleoid and the cell wall built of peptidoglycan (PG). In most bacteria, a single circular chromosome is compacted ...

Event-driven acquisition for content-enriched microscopy

Suliana Manley, Dora Mahecic, Juliette Griffie, Chen Zhang, Martin Weigert, Willi Leopold Stepp

Event-driven acquisition uses neural-network-based recognition of specific biological events to trigger switching between slow and fast super-resolution imaging, enriching the capture of interesting events with high spatiotemporal resolution. A common goal ...

Fluorescent D-Amino Acids for Super-resolution Microscopy of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Luc Reymond, Suliana Manley, Ophélie Rutschmann, Juliette Griffie, Chen Zhang, Willi Leopold Stepp, Jiangtao Qiao, Faustine Ambroisine Charline Ryckebusch

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) have previ-ously been developed to enable in situ highlighting of locations of bacterial cell wall growth. Most bacterial cells lie at the edge of the diffraction limit of visible light; thus, resolving the precise details ...

Probing the growth and mechanical properties of Bacillus subtilis biofilms through genetic mutation strategies

Chen Zhang, Lei Wang

Bacterial communities form biofilms on various surfaces by synthesizing a cohesive and protective extracellular matrix, and these biofilms protect microorganisms against harsh environmental conditions. Bacillus subtilis is a widely used experimental specie ...

Deep eyes: Joint depth inference using monocular and binocular cues

Siyuan Li, Chen Zhang, Yang Yang

Human visual system relies on both monocular focusness cues and binocular stereo cues to gain effective 3D perception. Correspondingly, depth from focus/defocus (DfF/DfD) and stereo matching are two most studied passive depth sensing schemes, which are tra ...

RFID seeking: Finding a lost tag rather than only detecting its missing

Qiang Wang, Lei Xie, Chen Zhang, Jian Xu

This paper proposes a novel type of RFID application, i.e., RFID seeking. Several existing types of RFID applications such as monitoring, searching, locating/navigating, are similar with RFID seeking. However, they are either inapplicable or vulnerable for ...

TOA: a tag-owner-assisting RFID authentication protocol toward access control and ownership transfer

Chao Wang, Qiang Wang, Lei Xie, Chen Zhang

This paper addresses radio frequency identification (RFID) authentication and ownership transfer in offline scenarios. Four typical related works are reviewed in detail. A series of shortcomings and vulnerabilities of them are pointed out. A new RFID authe ...
