BacStalk: A comprehensive and interactive image analysis software tool for bacterial cell biology

Abstract: The study of prokaryotic model species has greatly contributed to the advancement of cell biology. Originally viewed as simple organisms lacking internal structure, prokaryotes are now acknowledged to display an impressive degree of subcellular organization (Shapiro et al., 2009). A central question in cell biology is how cells spatiotemporally regulate the positioning and activities of (macro)molecular complexes in order to grow, divide, and adequately respond to changes in their extracellular environment.

“…To make BactMAP as useful as possible for the bacterial cell biology community, we standardized the import of datasets from five popular segmentation programs and one single‐molecule tracking program: SuperSegger (Stylianidou et al, ), MicrobeJ (Ducret et al, ), Oufti (Paintdakhi et al, ), Morphometrics (Ursell et al, ), ObjectJ/ChainTracer (Syvertsson, Vischer, Gao, & Hamoen, ; Vischer et al, ) and iSBatch (Caldas, Punter, Ghodke, Robinson, & Oijen, ). Furthermore, new programs with improved or specialized cell segmentation capabilities are being developed constantly, as recently for instance BacStalk (Hartmann, van Teeseling, Thanbichler, & Drescher, ), a specialized tool for segmentation of cells with complex morphologies and the deep learning and machine‐learningbased segmentation programs DeepCell (Bannon et al, ), DeLTA (Lugagne, Lin, & Dunlop, ) and Ilastik (Berg et al, ). Therefore, to make BactMAP compatible with a wide range of current and future segmentation software packages, we also implemented a generic import function for segmentation input.…”

“…Structural models of proteins were generated with I‐TASSER (Zhang, ) using MipZ Cc as a template and analyzed with the UCSF Chimera package (Pettersen et al , ). Cell length measurements were performed with Fiji (Schindelin et al , ) or BacStalk (Hartmann et al , ). Boxplots were generated using R version 3.5.1 (http://www.r-project.org).…”
