Visualization and Analysis of the Dynamic Assembly of a Heterologous Lantibiotic Biosynthesis Complex in Bacillus subtilis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A membrane-associated lanthipeptide synthetase complex, consisting of the dehydratase NisB, the cyclase NisC, and the ABC transporter NisT, has been described for nisin biosynthesis in the coccoid bacterium Lactococcus lactis. Here, we used advanced fluorescence microscopy to visualize the functional nisin biosynthesis machinery in rod-shaped cells and analyzed its spatial distribution and dynamics employing a platform we developed for heterologous production of nisin in Bacillus subtilis. We observed that NisT, as well as NisB and NisC, were all distributed in a punctate pattern along the cell periphery, opposed to the situation in coccoid cells. NisBTC proteins were found to be highly colocalized, being visualized at the same spots by dual fluorescence microscopy. In conjunction with the successful isolation of the biosynthetic complex NisBTC from the cell membrane, this corroborated that the visual bright foci were the sites for nisin maturation and transportation. A strategy of differential timing of expression was employed to demonstrate the
