Our preprint on engineered bacterial microlenses is out! We engineered bacteria to display sea sponge enzymes on their outer membranes. These bacteria can self-assemble a bioglass coating around themselves, and focus light into bright, photonic nanojets. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections (MORE THAN 130 multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, in fact) while sparing the gut microbiome! Let’s talk about that!🧵⬇️

A tool that functions like a Google for DNA has demonstrated its promise for making all of the world’s biological sequence data cheaply and easily searchable. scim.ag/7iR

A glass that builds and heals itself ! "Tyrosine tripeptide (YYY) is anomalously highly soluble in water and spontaneously assembles into an amorphous rigid glass by evaporation of an aqueous solution." Only 3 tyrosines. 😮 nature.com/articles/d4158…

New science awaits! ✨ We are excited to introduce you to our brand-new 2025 EMBL Annual Poster ➡️ embl.org/about/info/cou… In 2025, you can look forward to novel meetings such as the EMBO | EMBO Symposium 'Mechanisms of drug resistance and tolerance in bacteria, fungi, and

If you want to know everything about one of the most studied trans-acting regulatory sRNA in bacteria, read our review article recently published in RNA. Authors from Laboratoire MAP (CNRS INSA UMR5240) and Laboratoire de Chimie Bactérienne rnajournal.cshlp.org/cgi/content/lo…

1/2 Please mark your calendars for the 8th Conference on Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea! The meeting will be held September 1 - 4, 2025, at the Strasbourg Convention Centre, Strasbourg, France 🇫🇷. We are very excited and hope to see as many of you as possible!

Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out in Science Magazine!!! 🎇 We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction), but what about bacteria?🦠 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
