Nucleoid remodeling during environmental adaptation is regulated by HU-dependent DNA bundling

HU is among the most conserved and abundant nucleoid-associated proteins in eubacteria. Here the authors investigate the role of histone-like proteins (HU) in the 3D organization of the bacteria DNA and show via soft X-ray tomography the process of nucleoid remodeling.
