AI Article Synopsis

  • Damage repair is essential for all organisms, especially as they deal with varied and challenging environments that can harm protective barriers like skin or cell membranes.
  • The text outlines how bacteria generally manage damage to their cell envelope and introduces a unique repair method used by multicellular myxobacteria.
  • It proposes that myxobacteria heal by transferring membrane material between cells, highlighting a cooperative approach to repair akin to eukaryotic tissue healing.

Article Abstract

Damage repair is a fundamental requirement of all life as organisms find themselves in challenging and fluctuating environments. In particular, damage to the barrier between an organism and its environment (e.g. skin, plasma membrane, bacterial cell envelope) is frequent because these organs/organelles directly interact with the external world. Here, we discuss the general strategies that bacteria use to cope with damage to their cell envelope and their repair limits. We then describe a novel damage-coping mechanism used by multicellular myxobacteria. We propose that cell-cell transfer of membrane material within a population serves as a wound-healing strategy and provide evidence for its utility. We suggest that--similar to how tissues in eukaryotes have evolved cooperative methods of damage repair--so too have some bacteria that live a multicellular lifestyle.
