text: Buffers are essential for diluting bacterial cultures for flow cytometry analysis
in order to study bacterial physiology and gene expression parameters based on
fluorescence signals. Using a variety of constitutively expressed fluorescent
proteins in Escherichia coli K-12 strain MG1655, we found strong artifactual changes
in fluorescence levels after dilution into the commonly used flow cytometry buffer
phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and two other buffer solutions, Tris-HCl and M9
salts. These changes appeared very rapidly after dilution, and were linked to
increased membrane permeability and loss in cell viability. We observed buffer-related
effects in several different E. coli strains, K-12, C and W, but not E. coli B,
which can be partially explained by differences in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and
outer membrane composition. Supplementing the buffers with divalent cations responsible
for outer membrane stability, Mg2+ and Ca2+, preserved fluorescence signals, membrane
integrity and viability of E. coli. Thus, stabilizing the bacterial outer membrane
is essential for precise and unbiased measurements of fluorescence parameters
using flow cytometry.

text: The MazF toxin sequence-specifically cleaves single-stranded RNA upon various
stressful conditions, and it is activated as a part of the mazEF toxin–antitoxin
module in Escherichia coli. Although autoregulation of mazEF expression through
the MazE antitoxin-dependent transcriptional repression has been biochemically
characterized, less is known about post-transcriptional autoregulation, as well
as how both of these autoregulatory features affect growth of single cells during
conditions that promote MazF production. Here, we demonstrate post-transcriptional
autoregulation of mazF expression dynamics by MazF cleaving its own transcript.
Single-cell analyses of bacterial populations during ectopic MazF production indicated
that two-level autoregulation of mazEF expression influences cell-to-cell growth
rate heterogeneity. The increase in growth rate heterogeneity is governed by the
MazE antitoxin, and tuned by the MazF-dependent mazF mRNA cleavage. Also, both
autoregulatory features grant rapid exit from the stress caused by mazF overexpression.
Time-lapse microscopy revealed that MazF-mediated cleavage of mazF mRNA leads
to increased temporal variability in length of individual cells during ectopic
mazF overexpression, as explained by a stochastic model indicating that mazEF
mRNA cleavage underlies temporal fluctuations in MazF levels during stress.

text: 'Which properties of metabolic networks can be derived solely from stoichiometry?
Predictive results have been obtained by flux balance analysis (FBA), by postulating
that cells set metabolic fluxes to maximize growth rate. Here we consider a generalization
of FBA to single-cell level using maximum entropy modeling, which we extend and
test experimentally. Specifically, we define for Escherichia coli metabolism a
flux distribution that yields the experimental growth rate: the model, containing
FBA as a limit, provides a better match to measured fluxes and it makes a wide
range of predictions: on flux variability, regulation, and correlations; on the
relative importance of stoichiometry vs. optimization; on scaling relations for
growth rate distributions. We validate the latter here with single-cell data at
different sub-inhibitory antibiotic concentrations. The model quantifies growth
optimization as emerging from the interplay of competitive dynamics in the population
and regulation of metabolism at the level of single cells.'

text: 'Bacteria in groups vary individually, and interact with other bacteria and
the environment to produce population-level patterns of gene expression. Investigating
such behavior in detail requires measuring and controlling populations at the
single-cell level alongside precisely specified interactions and environmental
characteristics. Here we present an automated, programmable platform that combines
image-based gene expression and growth measurements with on-line optogenetic expression
control for hundreds of individual Escherichia coli cells over days, in a dynamically
adjustable environment. This integrated platform broadly enables experiments that
bridge individual and population behaviors. We demonstrate: (i) population structuring
by independent closed-loop control of gene expression in many individual cells,
(ii) cell-cell variation control during antibiotic perturbation, (iii) hybrid
bio-digital circuits in single cells, and freely specifiable digital communication
between individual bacteria. These examples showcase the potential for real-time
integration of theoretical models with measurement and control of many individual
cells to investigate and engineer microbial population behavior.'

text: 'The bacterial flagellum is a self-assembling nanomachine. The external flagellar
filament, several times longer than a bacterial cell body, is made of a few tens
of thousands subunits of a single protein: flagellin. A fundamental problem concerns
the molecular mechanism of how the flagellum grows outside the cell, where no
discernible energy source is available. Here, we monitored the dynamic assembly
of individual flagella using in situ labelling and real-time immunostaining of
elongating flagellar filaments. We report that the rate of flagellum growth, initially
~1,700 amino acids per second, decreases with length and that the previously proposed
chain mechanism does not contribute to the filament elongation dynamics. Inhibition
of the proton motive force-dependent export apparatus revealed a major contribution
of substrate injection in driving filament elongation. The combination of experimental
and mathematical evidence demonstrates that a simple, injection-diffusion mechanism
controls bacterial flagella growth outside the cell.'

text: 'While we have good understanding of bacterial metabolism at the population
level, we know little about the metabolic behavior of individual cells: do single
cells in clonal populations sometimes specialize on different metabolic pathways?
Such metabolic specialization could be driven by stochastic gene expression and
could provide individual cells with growth benefits of specialization. We measured
the degree of phenotypic specialization in two parallel metabolic pathways, the
assimilation of glucose and arabinose. We grew Escherichia coli in chemostats,
and used isotope-labeled sugars in combination with nanometer-scale secondary
ion mass spectrometry and mathematical modeling to quantify sugar assimilation
at the single-cell level. We found large variation in metabolic activities between
single cells, both in absolute assimilation and in the degree to which individual
cells specialize in the assimilation of different sugars. Analysis of transcriptional
reporters indicated that this variation was at least partially based on cell-to-cell
variation in gene expression. Metabolic differences between cells in clonal populations
could potentially reduce metabolic incompatibilities between different pathways,
and increase the rate at which parallel reactions can be performed.'

text: The molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation in isogenic bacterial
populations remain poorly understood.We report that AcrAB-TolC, the main multidrug
efflux pump of Escherichia coli, exhibits a strong partitioning bias for old cell
poles by a segregation mechanism that is mediated by ternary AcrAB-TolC complex
formation. Mother cells inheriting old poles are phenotypically distinct and display
increased drug efflux activity relative to daughters. Consequently, we find systematic
and long-lived growth differences between mother and daughter cells in the presence
of subinhibitory drug concentrations. A simple model for biased partitioning predicts
a population structure of long-lived and highly heterogeneous phenotypes. This
straightforward mechanism of generating sustained growth rate differences at subinhibitory
antibiotic concentrations has implications for understanding the emergence of
multidrug resistance in bacteria.

text: In bacteria, replicative aging manifests as a difference in growth or survival
between the two cells emerging from division. One cell can be regarded as an aging
mother with a decreased potential for future survival and division, the other
as a rejuvenated daughter. Here, we aimed at investigating some of the processes
involved in aging in the bacterium Escherichia coli, where the two types of cells
can be distinguished by the age of their cell poles. We found that certain changes
in the regulation of the carbohydrate metabolism can affect aging. A mutation
in the carbon storage regulator gene, csrA, leads to a dramatically shorter replicative
lifespan; csrA mutants stop dividing once their pole exceeds an age of about five
divisions. These old-pole cells accumulate glycogen at their old cell poles; after
their last division, they do not contain a chromosome, presumably because of spatial
exclusion by the glycogen aggregates. The new-pole daughters produced by these
aging mothers are born young; they only express the deleterious phenotype once
their pole is old. These results demonstrate how manipulations of nutrient allocation
can lead to the exclusion of the chromosome and limit replicative lifespan in
E. coli, and illustrate how mutations can have phenotypic effects that are specific
for cells with old poles. This raises the question how bacteria can avoid the
accumulation of such mutations in their genomes over evolutionary times, and how
they can achieve the long replicative lifespans that have recently been reported.

text: Parasitism creates selection for resistance mechanisms in host populations
and is hypothesized to promote increased host evolvability. However, the influence
of these traits on host evolution when parasites are no longer present is unclear.
We used experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli
to determine the effects of past and present exposure to parasitic viruses (phages)
on the spread of mutator alleles, resistance, and bacterial competitive fitness.
We found that mutator alleles spread rapidly during adaptation to any of four
different phage species, and this pattern was even more pronounced with multiple
phages present simultaneously. However, hypermutability did not detectably accelerate
adaptation in the absence of phages and recovery of fitness costs associated with
resistance. Several lineages evolved phage resistance through elevated mucoidy,
and during subsequent evolution in phage-free conditions they rapidly reverted
to nonmucoid, phage-susceptible phenotypes. Genome sequencing revealed that this
phenotypic reversion was achieved by additional genetic changes rather than by
genotypic reversion of the initial resistance mutations. Insertion sequence (IS)
elements played a key role in both the acquisition of resistance and adaptation

text: Restriction-modification (RM) systems represent a minimal and ubiquitous biological
system of self/non-self discrimination in prokaryotes [1], which protects hosts
from exogenous DNA [2]. The mechanism is based on the balance between methyltransferase
(M) and cognate restriction endonuclease (R). M tags endogenous DNA as self by
methylating short specific DNA sequences called restriction sites, whereas R recognizes
unmethylated restriction sites as non-self and introduces a double-stranded DNA
break [3]. Restriction sites are significantly underrepresented in prokaryotic
genomes [4-7], suggesting that the discrimination mechanism is imperfect and occasionally
leads to autoimmunity due to self-DNA cleavage (self-restriction) [8]. Furthermore,
RM systems can promote DNA recombination [9] and contribute to genetic variation
in microbial populations, thus facilitating adaptive evolution [10]. However,
cleavage of self-DNA by RM systems as elements shaping prokaryotic genomes has
not been directly detected, and its cause, frequency, and outcome are unknown.
We quantify self-restriction caused by two RM systems of Escherichia coli and
find that, in agreement with levels of restriction site avoidance, EcoRI, but
not EcoRV, cleaves self-DNA at a measurable rate. Self-restriction is a stochastic
process, which temporarily induces the SOS response, and is followed by DNA repair,
maintaining cell viability. We find that RM systems with higher restriction efficiency
against bacteriophage infections exhibit a higher rate of self-restriction, and
that this rate can be further increased by stochastic imbalance between R and
M. Our results identify molecular noise in RM systems as a factor shaping prokaryotic
genomes.

text: Parasitism creates selection for resistance mechanisms in host populations
and is hypothesized to promote increased host evolvability. However, the influence
of these traits on host evolution when parasites are no longer present is unclear.
We used experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing of Escherichia coli
to determine the effects of past and present exposure to parasitic viruses (phages)
on the spread of mutator alleles, resistance, and bacterial competitive fitness.
We found that mutator alleles spread rapidly during adaptation to any of four
different phage species, and this pattern was even more pronounced with multiple
phages present simultaneously. However, hypermutability did not detectably accelerate
adaptation in the absence of phages and recovery of fitness costs associated with
resistance. Several lineages evolved phage resistance through elevated mucoidy,
and during subsequent evolution in phage-free conditions they rapidly reverted
to nonmucoid, phage-susceptible phenotypes. Genome sequencing revealed that this
phenotypic reversion was achieved by additional genetic changes rather than by
genotypic reversion of the initial resistance mutations. Insertion sequence (IS)
elements played a key role in both the acquisition of resistance and adaptation
in the absence of parasites; unlike single nucleotide polymorphisms, IS insertions
were not more frequent in mutator lineages. Our results provide a genetic explanation
for rapid reversion of mucoidy, a phenotype observed in other bacterial species
including human pathogens. Moreover, this demonstrates that the types of genetic
change underlying adaptation to fitness costs, and consequently the impact of
evolvability mechanisms such as increased point-mutation rates, depend critically
on the mechanism of resistance.

text: Gene duplication is important in evolution, because it provides new raw material
for evolutionary adaptations. Several existing hypotheses about the causes of
duplicate retention and diversification differ in their emphasis on gene dosage,
subfunctionalization, and neofunctionalization. Little experimental data exist
on the relative importance of gene expression changes and changes in coding regions
for the evolution of duplicate genes. Furthermore, we do not know how strongly
the environment could affect this importance. To address these questions, we performed
evolution experiments with the TEM-1 beta lactamase gene in Escherichia coli to
study the initial stages of duplicate gene evolution in the laboratory. We mimicked
tandem duplication by inserting two copies of the TEM-1 gene on the same plasmid.
We then subjected these copies to repeated cycles of mutagenesis and selection
in various environments that contained antibiotics in different combinations and
concentrations. Our experiments showed that gene dosage is the most important
factor in the initial stages of duplicate gene evolution, and overshadows the
importance of point mutations in the coding region.

text: High relatedness among interacting individuals has generally been considered
a precondition for the evolution of altruism. However, kin-selection theory also
predicts the evolution of altruism when relatedness is low, as long as the cost
of the altruistic act is minor compared with its benefit. Here, we demonstrate
evidence for a low-cost altruistic act in bacteria. We investigated Escherichia
coli responding to the attack of an obligately lytic phage by committing suicide
in order to prevent parasite transmission to nearby relatives. We found that bacterial
suicide provides large benefits to survivors at marginal costs to committers.
The cost of suicide was low, because infected cells are moribund, rapidly dying
upon phage infection, such that no more opportunity for reproduction remains.
As a consequence of its marginal cost, host suicide was selectively favoured even
when relatedness between committers and survivors approached zero. Altogether,
our findings demonstrate that low-cost suicide can evolve with ease, represents
an effective host-defence strategy, and seems to be widespread among microbes.
Moreover, low-cost suicide might also occur in higher organisms as exemplified
by infected social insect workers leaving the colony to die in isolation.
