How do bacteria🦠polymerize sugars at the IM, but then get them out of the cell?
Answer: OPX proteins in the periplasm interfacing with OM and IM components!

Found a printed copy at home of one of my recent grant proposals, figured I could use it as tinder to light the wood stove. Worked like a charm! Although, there's something very "à propos" about watching your proposed research project go up in flames... 🔥🔥🔥
It's here! Celebrating 50 y of the MyxoMeeting, we myxologists teamed up & wrote a JBac group review on the history of #Myxococcus xanthus & how it became the coolest model bacterium ever 🦠🧫. Really proud of this 1, check it out for tons of useful info! https://t.co/7gmHZSAbK4

Sometimes I have too much fun working on review articles😁! Hmmm, how to end off a group review on the history of Myxococcus xanthus as a model 🦠?
"The remarkable research journey of M. xanthus can thus be summed up as follows: from a pile of poop to getting shit done!"
Our Resource Allocation grant for computing 💻 allotment was approved, at double the amount from last year! 😃 Thnx @Alliance_Can! Time for some even cooler #moleculardynamics simulations!!! Stay tuned... 😉
Our recently work shedding light on the reason why most OAg in E. coli favoured the initial sugar with GlcNAc same to ECA structure is out! It is like a plumbing solution to ensure efficient recycling of the essential cell envelope building block, UndP

We shown the very first quantitative evidence to localise the sequestration of C55 oligosaccharide intermediates to the cytosolic face of the cytoplasmic membrane. Thanks
@MicrobioSoc for giving the concise story a good home.

Excited to announce: I'll be joining the Editorial Board of the Journal of Bacteriology! 🦠🧫🔬 @JBacteriology, published by @ASMicrobiology since 1916, has long been a home for solid bacteriology research. It has been a pleasure to review for them over the years!
