Propositions accompanying the thesis
Snap Shots of Bacterial Adaptation
1. The elemental iron transport system (EfeUOB) is central for managing oxidative stress at the cell membrane of B. subtilis. (Chapter 2 and 3)
2. Redundant systems are sometime insufficient. (Chapter 2 and 3)
3. Arginine is not only a building block for proteins. It is a versatile amino acid that can also be a source of energy and might play an important role in protein folding and translocation. (Chapter 2, 3 and 4)
4. The use of the twin-arginine motif for Tat-dependent protein translocation may not be a coincidence. (Chapter 2 and 4)
5. Small regulatory RNAs have a global impact on gene regulation and S313 is a perfect example of it. (Chapter 3)
6. Phages are double edged swords in the context of antimicrobial therapy. (Chapter 5)
7. The bacterial responses to ciprofloxacin are not fully understood. (Chapter 5)
8. Studies on regulatory adaptive responses are equally important as the identification of mutations and events of horizontal gene transfer that lead to adaptation. (This thesis)
9. Continuous snapshots make a movie. Snapshots only provide a glimpse while movies tell the entire story. I dream of making a movie.
