Baquero D, Medvedeva S, Martin-Gallausiaux C, Pende N, Sartori-Rupp A, Tachon S, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2024 Sep;
15(1):7702.
PMID: 39231967
The human gut virome, which is mainly composed of bacteriophages, also includes viruses infecting archaea, yet their role remains poorly understood due to lack of isolates. Here, we characterize a...

Witwinowski J, Sartori-Rupp A, Taib N, Pende N, Tham T, Poppleton D, et al.
Nat Microbiol
. 2022 Mar;
7(3):411-422.
PMID: 35246664
Recent data support the hypothesis that Gram-positive bacteria (monoderms) arose from Gram-negative ones (diderms) through loss of the outer membrane (OM), but how this happened remains unknown. As tethering of...

Ithurbide S, Gribaldo S, Albers S, Pende N
Trends Microbiol
. 2022 Mar;
30(7):665-678.
PMID: 35246355
Compared with the extensive knowledge on cell division in model eukaryotes and bacteria, little is known about how archaea divide. Interestingly, both endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-based and...

Weber P, Paredes G, Viehboeck T, Pende N, Volland J, Gros O, et al.
iScience
. 2022 Jan;
25(1):103552.
PMID: 35059602
Less than a handful of cuboid and squared cells have been described in nature, which makes them a rarity. Here, we show how Thiosymbion cuboideus, a cube-like gammaproteobacterium, reproduces on...

Pende N, Sogues A, Megrian D, Sartori-Rupp A, England P, Palabikyan H, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2021 Jun;
12(1):3214.
PMID: 34088904
Most archaea divide by binary fission using an FtsZ-based system similar to that of bacteria, but they lack many of the divisome components described in model bacterial organisms. Notably, among...

Nat Commun
. 2018 Nov;
9(1):4731.
PMID: 30413688
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is an important experimental model to address central questions in neuroscience at an organismic level. However, imaging of neural circuits in intact fruit flies is...

Pende N, Wang J, Weber P, Verheul J, Kuru E, Rittmann S, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2018 Mar;
28(7):1039-1051.e5.
PMID: 29576473
To determine the fundamentals of cell growth, we must extend cell biological studies to non-model organisms. Here, we investigated the growth modes of the only two rods known to widen...

Leisch N, Pende N, Weber P, Gruber-Vodicka H, Verheul J, Vischer N, et al.
Nat Microbiol
. 2016 Oct;
2:16182.
PMID: 27723729
The reproduction mode of uncultivable microorganisms deserves investigation as it can largely diverge from conventional transverse binary fission. Here, we show that the rod-shaped gammaproteobacterium thriving on the surface of...

Pende N, Leisch N, Gruber-Vodicka H, Heindl N, Ott J, den Blaauwen T, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2014 Sep;
5:4803.
PMID: 25221974
Two long-standing paradigms in biology are that cells belonging to the same population exhibit little deviation from their average size and that symmetric cell division is size limited. Here, ultrastructural,...

Leisch N, Verheul J, Heindl N, Gruber-Vodicka H, Pende N, den Blaauwen T, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2012 Oct;
22(19):R831-2.
PMID: 23058799
Rod-shaped bacteria usually grow in length and place their FtsZ ring and division site at midcell, perpendicular to their long axis [1,2]. Here, we provide morphometric and immunocytochemical evidence that...
