Chlorobaculum tepidum, a model photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium, possesses a variety of bacteriochlorophyll c pigments in light‐harvesting organelles called chlorosomes (background; TEM of negatively stained chlorosomes). Bacteriochlorophyll has a 3‐1‐hydroxyethyl group that produces a chiral center with R‐ or S‐stereochemistry. C. tepidum adapts to low‐light by regulating the activities of the BchF and BchV hydratases and thus the pigment composition of the chlorosome. For details, see the article by Harada et al. on pp. 1184–1198 of this issue.

In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC6803 the repair protease FtsH2 is located in the thylakoid membranes, but has a different distribution from the photosynthetic reaction centers suggesting the existence of dedicated repair zones. False‐color 3D surface plots from fluorescence micrographs show the distribution of fluorescence from chlorophyll (left) and GFP‐tagged FtsH2 (right) in cells grown under low light (top) or high light (bottom). For details, see the article by Sacharz et al. on pp. 448–462 of this issue.

Proteasomal degradation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p fibrils (negative‐stained electron micrograph in the background) generates amyloidogenic peptides derived from its N‐terminal prion domain (leading to the [PSI+] phenotype). For further details readers are referred to the article by Kabani et al. on pp. 507‐528 of this issue.

GacA catalyzes the final step in dTDP‐L‐rhamnose biosynthesis which is critical for the biosynthesis of the Group A carbohydrate, a virulence determinant of the human pathogen Group A Streptococcus (GAS). GacA is a monomeric enzyme (in front of mirror), in contrast to the previously characterized RmlD dimer (in the mirror), and is essential for GAS survival (in background, left: wild‐type cells, right: conditional knockout cells). For details, see the article by van der Beek et al. on pp. 946–962 of this issue.
