Check out @CiccareseDavide's paper studying the growth and spatial self-organization of microbial co-cultures consisting of two metabolically interacting strains, while fluctuating environmental conditions that alter the dependency between the two strains https://t.co/zEGl6NTxZC

OUT NOW: Multi-omics analyses of the ulcerative colitis gut microbiome link Bacteroides vulgatus proteases with disease severity
A work by Mills, Gonzalez, Knight & co @KnightLabNews

This work utilized a metagenomic binning approach to explore the individual microbes involved in ruminal fiber digestion & used single-cell RNA sequencing on rumen epithelial cells to investigate cell subtypes contributing to VFA absorption and metabolism

Feeling very honoured and excited to have been given @SfAMtweets's WH Pierce Prize! A massive thank you to the panel and to colleagues, collaborators and team members past & present who made this work happen💜 (And an extra thank you to the mystery person who nominated me)

Universities sell the idea that their PIs have multiple grants and publish amazing papers. This is bullshit. Getting grants and papers is extremelly difficult, and we are all constantly rejected in academia. From now I'll make public all my rejections, to normalise failure.

Our work on prophages in the infant gut is out!

[Dr Anna York (they/them) @Annayork91]

Excited to share our most recent work! A method for separation of pneumococcal serotypes from a mixed sample. This method will allow us to isolate capsule switch mutants without the need for selection markers.

Think xanthan gum is inert in our diet? think again! An adventure of coupling omics to biochem, this time using @nanopore to link 16S data in population studies to HQ-MAGs to detailed enzymology. 🙌🏼@mattostrowski2 @EricCMartens1 @SabinaLLaRosa @LiveHHagen https://t.co/hykN3IEBPc

Exciting day. 1st paper by @rjonesy4 et al on P. aeruginosa lipid modelling & relevance in CF lungs @ISMEJournal, and 2nd by @CyanoNey et al on new roseophages having dU and escape common metagenome library prep @CurrentBiology

Please consider signing this petition- #UKRIcuts to #ODA funding from UK gov. The same week: announcement to place UK research at center of governments ambition for global influence. Perplexingly paradoxical. Needs debating. Please sign. #UKRI #Petition https://t.co/hQGP3MnaMY

[Ryan Cook @RyanCookAMR]

Absolutely thrilled to see my first first-author paper published in @MicrobiomeJ . Not surprisingly, hybrid viromes are really cool. Huge thanks to all of my supervisors, including @milja001 and @DovStekelLab (many others not on Twitter) #Phages

2 years ago I lived the happiest moment of my life as a scientist. I discovered that external stresses can trigger the transition between the two major forms of bacterial collectives: swarms and wrinkly biofilms. Today, I can finally share the full story: https://t.co/OeSat8dxNI
