• Cellular microbiology: Rulers and sensors in Chlamydomonas | PDF (216 KB)
  - Nat Rev Micro 9(6):397 (2011)
  Flagellum assembly and function in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii depend on complex mechanisms of sensing, both internally, to detect whether flagella are appropriately assembled, and externally, to modulate flagellar activity in response to environmental cues. Two reports this month advance our understanding of these processes.

• Beyond the bacterium: planctomycetes challenge our concepts of microbial structure and function
  - Nat Rev Micro 9(6):403 (2011)
  Planctomycetes form a distinct phylum of the domain Bacteria and possess unusual features such as intracellular compartmentalization and a lack of peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Remarkably, cells of the genus Gemmata even contain a membrane-bound nucleoid analogous to the eukaryotic nucleus. Moreover, the so-called 'anammox' planctomycetes have a unique anaerobic, autotrophic metabolism that includes the ability to oxidize ammonium; this process is dependent on a characteristic membrane-bound cell compartment called the anammoxosome, which might be a functional analogue of the eukaryotic mitochondrion. The compartmentalization of planctomycetes challenges our hypotheses regarding the origins of eukaryotic organelles. Furthermore, the recent discovery of both an endocytosis-like ability and proteins homologous to eukaryotic clathrin in a planctomycete marks this phylum as one to watch for future research on the origin and evolution of the eukaryotic cell.
