Abstract excerpt

Bacteria organize their chromosomes in a complex interwound supercoiled structure called the nucleoid through the action of topoisomerases and a set of small (10-20 kDa) proteins. The two most abundant nucleoid-associated proteins are HU and H-NS. H-NS increases in abundance during stationary pha...
