The 2nd part of this podcast has a really great description of our most recent paper! Great job on the podcast and thanks for sharing @profvrr

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

TWiM describes experiments to explore gut microbiota signatures of vulnerability to food addiction in mice & humans, and how a phage tail-like protein suppresses competitors in populations of bacteria of plants. 📺 https://t.co/ZIfzfUFRvZ

Check out our new review on the evolution of tailocins in @TrendsMicrobiol https://t.co/yMtc6Xddnn with @BackmanTalia and Talia Karasov (https://t.co/PgJL7qnSl3) @uclbiosciences @CloeFor @UCLLifeSciences @UofUBiology

A beautiful work on one of my favorite biomolecules!! 😍 Phage-tail-like-bacteriocins or Tailocins are enigmatic.
So much to discover about how they function, evolve & play a role in ecology.

My inital bacteriophage research ended up taking an exciting turn to researching something I had never heard of before studying them- tailocins :) Check out my PhD work thus far! @hernanaburbano @smlatorreo https://t.co/MnzCJYcNO2

Our new collaborative work led by @BackmanTalia between my lab @uclbiosciences @CloeFor & the Karasov Lab @UofUBiology (https://t.co/7CP9Lp3TpR) in which we find that plant bacterial pathogens have repurposed #phages to compete with one another. https://t.co/rxaQDCZEzt

Congratulations!

The Karasov lab studies host-microbe evolution & the interplay between host genetic diversity & the evolution & spread of microbes. Focusing primarily on the microbes that colonize plants, they use a variety of tools including genomics & population genetics.

@internetJacks Let’s feed them short hairpin RNAs to make them sterile, my dogs always bring them in the house on their fur🤢
