Multifaceted roles of extracellular DNA in bacterial physiology. Extracellular DNA is also a pool for horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which is defined by the utilization of exogenous DNA for the purpose of genetic recombination and requires natural competence of bacterial cells to yield evolutionarily favorable properties. Generally, active DNA release for the purpose of HGT via bacterial conjugation occurs via type IV secretion system, which requires cell–cell contact. To our best knowledge, secretion of DNA via type IV secretion system without requirement of a physical cell–cell contact has only been documented for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The consequence of such system is spreading genetic information through the population and the possibility of using e. DNA for nutrient acquisition or biofilm formation without reducing cell population and promoting host immune response (Hamilton et al. Zweig et al. 1. 98.

Garon et al. 1. 98. Loeb et al. Interestingly, OMVs in Helicobacter pylori and Pseudomonas putida promote biofilm formation (Baumgarten et al. Yonezawa et al. The same is known for Acinetobacter baumannii where release of OMVs is one of the main mechanisms that contribute to total availability of e.

DNA (Sahu et al. The export of DNA via membrane vesicles (MVs) has been observed for a long time as a characteristic of Gram- negative species (Dorward and Garon 1. Liao et al. MVs containing DNA increase the efficiency of DNA uptake and genetic recombination, as it has been shown for example in H. Renelli et al. 2.

Yaron et al. Thus, MVs might act as DNA delivery vehicles, but the exact localization of the DNA, the molecular mechanism of DNA deposition in vesicles and later uptake in the donor cell as well as the relevance of MVs- mediated HGT need to be investigated in the future. A recent work of Borgeaud et al. Other examples for HGT include Campylobacter jejuni where e.

DNA facilitates transfer of genetic traits between bacteria in biofilm, which can contribute to spread of antimicrobial resistance (Brown et al. Furthermore, antibiotic resistances encoded on plasmids can spread via transformation in multispecies oral biofilms (Hannan et al. Notably, regulatory circuits of biofilm formation, quorum sensing (QS), carbon catabolite repression (CCR) and competence are frequently linked in bacteria (Spoering and Gilmore 2.

How to Create a Perennial Bestseller. Note from the editor: The following is a guest post by Ryan Holiday. Ryan (FB/IG/TW: @Ryan.

Holiday) is the bestselling author of six books, including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy and The Daily Stoic. His books are used by many NFL teams, including the Seahawks and Patriots, and was read by members of the Warriors on their way to NBA championship in 2. His work has been translated into twenty- eight languages and has appeared everywhere from the Columbia Journalism Review to Fast Company. His company, Brass Check, has advised companies such as Google, TASER, and Complex, as well as multiplatinum musicians and some of the biggest authors in the world. His latest book, Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts is a meditation on the ingredients required to create classic books, businesses, and art that does more than just disappear.

Elon Musk compares starting a business to “eating glass and staring into the abyss of death,” and no one would willingly do all that if they thought their efforts were going to disappear with the wind. The vast majority of creative work, sadly, is not only forgotten, it never had a chance to be anything but forgettable.

In the United States alone some 3. Roughly 3. 00 hours of video are uploaded to You. Tube every minute. Since it launched in 1.

Sundance. How many of these products endured for years or decades? Not many. But some people do figure it out. The publishing industry, the music industry, the movie industry, despite what you read in the newspapers, are successful not because of the hits that come out each week, but because of their library of content—what insiders call “perennial sellers.” Perennial sellers are movies like the Shawshank Redemption, artists like Iron Maiden, startups like Craigslist, books like the 4. Laws of Power, (and The. Hour Workweek, which is 1.

U. S. Look at Craigslist, now 2. These are the kind of products that customers return to more than once, and recommend to others, even if they’re no longer trendy or brand new. In this way, they are often timeless and unsung moneymakers, paying like annuities to their owners. Like gold or land, they increase in value over time because they are always of value to someone, somewhere. All my life (and career) I have been studying these kinds of perennial sellers.

Not just because it’s what I do for a living as an advisor to writers, musicians and entrepreneurs, but to incorporate them in my own writing. What follows in this post are some of the lessons we can learn from the creators who have made things that last—not for months but for years. I’ve split them into two distinct buckets, how to make something that lasts and the kind of marketing required to develop a loyal audience that lasts. Phil Libin, the founder of Evernote, has a quote I like to share: “People . As my mentor Robert Greene put it, “It starts by wanting to create a classic.” If you’re sitting down to make something and thinking about how famous it’s going to make you, how rich you’re going to get, how fun it’s going to be, or all the people you’re going to prove wrong, you are thinking about the wrong thing. Frank Darabont, the director and writer of The Shawshank Redemption,was offered $2. Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise could be cast as the stars.

He turned it down because he felt this was his “chance to do something really great” with his screenplay and the actors of his choosing. Turning down that kind of money couldn’t have been easy, but that’s the difference between what might have been a forgettable mid- level blockbuster to one of the most enduring and popular movies of all time. Think Long Term, Don’t Chase Trends — What Doesn’t Change? Darabont’s decision probably seemed crazy at the time. Hollywood says “We want to give you a bunch of money to put these two movie stars in your film,” and he rejects it?

He didn’t want to make a movie dependent on big names. He wanted to make a movie that captured the essences of Stephen King’s book, a movie that wasn’t about flash and marketing but rooted in something deeper. Consider Amazon, now arguably the most valuable company in the world. Jeff Bezos’ dictum to his employees is not to focus on what will make the most money right now, he’s not rushing to capture every fad or opportunity.

Instead, he has this surprising command: “Focus on the things that don’t change.”  Bezos isn’t rushed, and he is thinking long term. He knows that customers will, always prefer cheap prices, fast shipping and reliable service.

That’s what he is optimizing for, not what’s trendy right now. The great writer Stefan Zweig once recounted a youthful conversation with an older and wiser friend. The friend was encouraging him to travel, believing that the experience would broaden and deepen Zweig’s writing. Zweig believed he had to write right now and he needed to finish his book as quickly as possible.

Whether a really good book is finished a year earlier or a year later makes no difference.”It doesn’t make a difference because really good stuff is timeless. It doesn’t need to be rushed. All the people who started “businesses” right before the first dot- com bust, or apps for Myspace pages.

Or Groupon clones. Or QR codes. Or gourmet cupcakes. Or published adult coloring books. Or people selling fidget spinners. Take the Star Wars franchise. In one sense, the films were undoubtedly futuristic and took advantage of then cutting- edge special effects. But George Lucas borrowed far and wide.

He acknowledged that his initial conception of the movie was for a modern take on the Flash Gordon franchise, going as far as trying to buy the rights in order to do so. He also borrowed heavily from the 1.

Japanese movie The Hidden Fortress for the bickering relationship between R2. Yet for all these contemporary influences, Lucas’s most profound source material was the work of a then relatively obscure mythologist named Joseph Campbell and his concept of a “hero’s journey.” Despite the special effects, the story of Luke Skywalker is rooted in the same epic principles of Gilgamesh, of Homer, even the story of Jesus Christ. Lucas has referred to Campbell as “my Yoda” for the way he helped him tell “an old myth in a new way.” When you think about it, it’s those epic themes of humanity that are left when the newness of the special effects fall away. Why else would ten- year- olds—who weren’t even born when the second set of three movies were made, let alone the original trilogy—still be captivated by these films? As Rick Rubin said on Tim’s podcast, he urges his bands not to listen to the radio while producing an album. He doesn’t want them thinking about what’s popular right now. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter how great it is in the moment—it won’t last.

Seek Out A Blue Ocean. Creators gravitate towards competition because it seems safe. If pop punk is popular, they re- tool their band because they think that’s what labels and fans are looking for.

If venture capitalists are funding VR or drones, that’s the company they start. Unfortunately, this makes it harder to break through the noise. As famed investor Peter Thiel has said, “competition is for losers.” An essential part of making perennial, lasting work is making sure that you’re pursuing the best of your ideas and that they are ideas that only you can have (otherwise, you’re dealing with a commodity and not a classic). Not only will this process be more creatively satisfying, it will be better for business. In 2. 00. 5, business professors W. Chan Kim and Ren. Instead of battling numerous competitors in a contested “red ocean,” their studies revealed that it was far better to seek fresh, uncontested “blue” water.

Can you redefine or create a category, rather than compete in one? To tell another Rick Rubin story: In 1. Slayer, then a notoriously heavy but obscure metal band.

The natural impulse for many would be to help the band make something more mainstream, more accessible.
