DdrO regulates the radiation desiccation response and apoptotic‐like cell death in the Deinococcus radiodurans. Light microscopy was used to visualize the effects of depleting the DdrO repressor on D. radiodurans morphology (left to right): Nomarski interference contrast (DIC), membrane staining (FM4‐64), DNA staining (DAPI), and merged images. The cells were depleted of DrdO from 8h (top), 16 h (middle), or 24 h (bottom). DdrO‐depleted cells display morphological changes evocative of an apoptotic‐like response including DNA condensation and vesicle formation. For details, see the article by Devigne et al. on pp. 1069–1084 of this issue.
