An intercellular exchange of regulators and nutrients takes place through septal junctions in the filament of heterocystforming cyanobacteria. Overexpression of SepJ, a putative septal junction protein, led to an increase in intercellular molecular exchange and an alteration in heterocyst spacing. For details, see the article by Mariscal et al. on pp. 968–981 of this issue.

Bacterial iron homeostasis is often regulated by regulators of the Fur family, including in Bacillus subtilis both Fur (left; modeled on PDB 3MWM) and PerR. Resistance to iron (yellow) overload is conferred primarily by induction of a newly assigned iron efflux P1B‐4‐type ATPase, PfeT (top, represented by a P1B‐type ATPase from L. pneumophila PDB 4BBJ) with a secondary contribution from the Fe sequestration protein MrgA (right; represented by E. coli Dps; PDB 1DPS). For details, see the article by Guan et al. on pp. 787–803 of this issue.

Time‐dependent changes in gene expression, particularly for those genes involved in adhesion and metabolism, are at the core of biofilm development. Detailed transcriptomic studies combined with a transcription factor deletion mutant library have identified several new regulators critical for Candida albicans biofilm formation. For details, see the article by Fox et al. on pp. 1226–1239 of this issue.

A montage of images through the division septum of E. coli cells. The images were captured by dual‐color time‐gated Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) nanoscopy, on cells simultaneously expressing FtsZ‐mNeonGreen (green) and mStrawberry‐FtsN (red). The images show that FtsZ and FtsN are spatially separated. For details, see the article by Söderström et al. on pp. 387‐401 of this issue.

Molecular modeling of the Trypanosoma brucei aminopurine transporter P2/TbAT1, implicated in resistance to both diamidine and melaminophenyl arsenical classes of drugs, predicts that residues F19 (left), D140 (top) and F316 (right) interact with substrates. The binding site of adenosine (green carbon atoms) and diminazene (yellow carbon atoms) is shown with hydrogen bonds between Asp140 and bound adenosine in dashed blue lines. For details, see the article by Munday et al. on pp. 887–900 of this issue.
