Excited to share this story now in @NatureComms where we investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the evolution of enhanced metabolic "addiction" between microbial partners in a synthetic community. https://t.co/xKCI1SYZfF Many thanks to @sourjik for an amazing time in Marburg

Bacterial chemotaxis has always been assumed to require short-term memory. We experimentally evolved bacteria to navigate environmental gradients without memory: https://t.co/O6263FfLeh
Congratulations to all involved!
Happy to share our article on engineering of motile minicells for cargo delivery
Motile and Chemotactic Minicells and Minicell-Driven Biohybrids Engineered for Active Cargo Delivery | ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. https://t.co/WZ62BWGRV8
Our paper describing importance of a highly evolutionary conserved membrane-organising protein complex in bacterial respiration is now published in PLoS Biology in its final version https://t.co/vhr7PDGPH1
Congratulations @MariaIsa_perezl !
Glad to see my main PhD project finally out @NatureMicrobiol https://t.co/GPTpkClhBI We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.
Engineered cells are finding their way into agriculture, living materials, consumer products and medicines. How do we design these cells and adapt regulatory rules to facilitate their safe and efficient use? #synbio#biotech https://t.co/d88Y5h9EZY
A new restaurant in San Francisco, FARMA, will serve a Peruvian-inspired menu consisting entirely of GMO & engineered ingredients.
Their goal? Showcase how bioengineering can enable a more resilient, and delicious, future.
For Issue 04, @AlexandraBalwit goes inside. Read below.
We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper @Nature .

Looking forward to yet another great BLAST meeting! Strongly encourage everyone interested in bacterial motility and signal transduction to apply. Excellent opportunity for junior PIs, postdocs and PhD students to present and discuss their work.
🚨 Job Alert - 2 PhD positions🚨
Are you interested in how bacteria work and how they are affected by antibiotics? 🦠💊 Do you like using fancy microscopes and pushing the resolution boundary? 🔬🔍 Then join my group @RVZ_Wuerzburg @Uni_WUE for your PhD!

A recent preprint from our lab about MOSAIC: a very easy protocol to make (short) mutations or libraries in plasmids much easier (no PCR, or assembly cloning needed), just electroporation with oligos! Probably useful for many in the field https://t.co/ms1jXhXEpr spread the word!
And here is another preprint. Ira's work shows that bacterial investment of resources in the costly motile behaviour is ruled by physics: https://t.co/InNXaLcXhH
Happy to share Giovanni's new preprint on experimental evolution of a synthetic microbial community. Surprisingly fast emergence of a novel dependence between partners on nitrogen assimilation.

We are looking for a postdoc to work on a @BBSRC funded project on the crosstalk of plant (and bacteria) oxygen sensing and symbiotic nitrogen fixation https://t.co/ascwBLAdKk
