Extremely happy to see the final published version of this study out NatureEcoEvo I really think this is one of our most important contributions to the field! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Congratulations Dr Jess Wade liked it here once on the Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Award and Lecture - very well deserved!

After a great 9 days teaching genome mining & evolution to a group of fantastically talented Latin American students in Guanajuato, Mexico - a quick turn around & to Rungsted, Denmark for the annual @MARBLES_EU meeting - great to see the progress in the last 12 months

Valenzuela et al. show how a few mutations in an evolved community can cause niche-differentiated ecotypes with interplay that improves productivity of the interacting community across sediment & groundwater subpopulations. Jacob Valenzuela Nitin Baliga nature.com/articles/s4146…

This is a super cool piece of work!!!

Well @everton just out Everton’d themselves there….

And... We are off to a great start of #Pseudomonas2024! Meet Maria Gracia Alvan, Javier Hernández Sancho & Giusi Favoino Nikel SEM Group at the front desk. Registration is now open! Microbiology Society PseudomonasConference 🦠🧫

Come find me at poster number 1️⃣ at #Pseudomonas2024 on Wednesday if you’re interested in the interface between antibiotic resistance and microbial interactions 🦠🫁

Dive into the 'Decoding Essentials: Pseudomonas Metabolism and Physiology' session at #Pseudomonas2024. Explore Pseudomonas remarkable adaptability and versatility and learn about its diverse metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms - microb.io/49478lR

So lovely to see Kyle Hogg looking at the picture of his Grandad, the great Sonny Ramadhin, in Kolkata #FieldofDreams

Last week we had a very stimulating third annual meeting for our EU project @MARBLES_EU on Harnessing marine microbes for drug discovery and sustainable production of fish and crops. Thanks Lone Gram for hosting the event at the lovely Rungstedgaard.

New MenT toxin-antitoxin paper for perusal! There are multiple routes to inhibit MenT toxins. Whilst phosphorylation was previously identified, the mechanism was unknown. We present a model wherein the antitoxin causes auto-phosphorylation of the toxin nature.com/articles/s4146…

A postdoctoral position is available in our lab, available immediately. Ideal candidate will have experience with membrane proteins and an interest in bacterial immunity. RTs appreciated! jobs.ac.uk/job/DJO275/res…
