Protocol to assess metabolic activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by measuring heat flow using isothermal calorimetry
Katrin Beilharz,Kasper Nørskov Kragh,Blaine Gabriel Fritz,Julius B. Kirkegaard,Tim Tolker-Nielsen,Thomas Bjarnsholt,Mads Lichtenberg +6 more
TL;DR: Lichtenberg et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a protocol for assessing metabolic activity of bacterial populations by measuring heat flow using isothermal calorimetry, which can aid in understanding microbial physiology.

A single amino acid substitution in the MurF UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide synthetase renders Streptococcus pneumoniae dependent on CO2 and temperature
Peter Burghout,Beatriz Quintero,Linda Bos,Katrin Beilharz,Jan-Willem Veening,Marien I. de Jonge,Mark van der Linden,Arie van der Ende,Peter W. M. Hermans +8 more
TL;DR: In capnophilic S. pneumoniae strains from CC156 and CC344 cell wall synthesis is placed under control of environmental CO2 levels and temperature, which might represent a novel strategy of the pneumococcus to rapidly adapt and colonize its host under changing environmental conditions.
Red Fluorescent Proteins for Gene Expression and Protein Localization Studies in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Efficient Transformation with DNA Assembled via the Gibson Assembly Method
TL;DR: The data show that mCherry is the fastest-maturing RFP in S. pneumoniae and is best suited for studying gene expression, while mKate2 and TagRFP are more stable and are the preferred choices for protein localization studies.
Benchmarking Various Green Fluorescent Protein Variants in Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Lactococcus lactis for Live Cell Imaging
Wout Overkamp,Katrin Beilharz,Ruud Detert Oude Weme,Ana Solopova,Harma Karsens,Ákos T. Kovács,Jan Kok,Oscar P. Kuipers,Jan-Willem Veening +8 more
TL;DR: Surprisingly, the best-performing GFP under experimental conditions in B. subtilis was the one codon optimized for S. pneumoniae and vice versa, and the data and tools described in this study will be useful for cell biology studies in low-GC-rich Gram-positive bacteria.
