Propositions:
1. Small organisms can cause big problems. (Chapter 1) 2. 7b-BF4 rapidly kills various Gram-positive bacteria,
including clinically relevant ones. However, whether an infected host would survive treatment with 7b-BF4 remains to be seen as it is moderately toxic. (Chapter 2) 3. We still don’t know the mechanism by which BC1 and T9A
kill bacteria, but we do know a number of mechanisms by which they don’t. (Chapter 3)
4. Xanthomonas citri MinC oscillates from pole to pole.
Wa-sn’t that obvious? As obvious as that FtsZ from X. citri would require GTP to sediment, which was proven not to be true. (Chapter 4 and Appendix)
5. A box plot is a great way to depict the distribution of cell lengths of bacterial populations (Chapter 4). It has boxes, the height of the boxes is the distance between the first and third quartiles and the dash in the middle is the median. There are no error bars in a box plot.
6. If I don’t know what I don’t know, then I might think I know it. Knowledge and experience make us realize how ignorant we are.
7. The more people there are in the authors list of a paper, the less likely it is that all their methods can be reprodu-ced from the description in the paper.
