Cellular metabolism recently emerged as a central player modulating the bacterial cell cycle.

Considering that it lives in oligotrophic environments, its capacity to use amino-acids is often critical for its growth. Here, we characterized the C. crescentus PutA bi-functional enzyme and showed that it is required for the utilization of pro ...[more]
