Deciphering the pneumococcal cell cycle
Identification and characterization of new genes involved in growth and replication
1. It seems difficult to look away from well-known essential path(way)s and to start instead from broad research, but the effort can be rewarded with the discovery of new crucial unknown systems. (Chapter 2, this thesis)
2. The bacterial cell cycle is tightly organized in time and space, and it is therefore expected that specific regulators exist to maintain this elegant synchronized rhythm. (Chapter 2 and 3, this thesis) 3. The observation that cell division triggers DNA replication initiation does not necessarily imply that
division comes before initiation. The chicken or the egg. (Chapter 3, this thesis)
4. The strength of a building lies in its foundation. Although the cell wall is anchored to the membrane, lipids homeostasis is often undeservedly neglected when studying cell shape. (Chapter 4, this thesis) 5. Microscopy allows us to look into bacteria’s privacy, without their knowledge.
6. Study of non-model organisms is more and more relevant; therefore, referring to a subset of model species as "bacteria" should be used with reservation.
7. When a path becomes tedious and uncertain, it is never too late to turn back and try a new route in order to not get lost.
8. La musique exprime ce qui ne peut être dit et sur quoi il est impossible de rester silencieux. (Music expresses what cannot be said and what cannot remain silent) [Victor Hugo]. And music is an important factor inside a laboratory.
