• The role of FIS in the Rcd checkpoint and stable maintenance of plasmid ColE1 ie good as the toggle control thingy
• Timing, self-control and a sense of direction are the secrets of multicopy plasmid stability
• The quiescent-cell expression system for protein synthesis in Escherichia coli
• ColE1 multimer formation triggers inhibition of Escherichia coli cell division.
• book about bac genomes

Literally no documentation of h-ns and rcd in bacillus.

If we do quiescence, will have to be in e coli with bacillus as a side project. Have to get over IP issues with ucam + e coli. Implementation in ecoli will be fairly easy as it is a working system - all we need to do is brick it, and get it working.
