New paper alert! The nisin O biosynthetic gene cluster lacks a leader-peptide cleaving protease but is distributed across different gut-associated genera. @MicrobioSoc @NarbadLab https://t.co/ZxkS2RjHbW

"Rescue of bacterial motility using two and three-species FliC chimeras"
In this pre-print out we studied the effect of flagellin (FliC) outer domain chimeras on bacterial motility. @UNSWScience @UNSWBABS

"Easy come, easier go: mapping the loss of flagellar motility across the tree of life" 🌱🔬
We analysed ~11,000 bacterial genomes to examine how flagellar motility has evolved 🏊‍♂️➡️🛑 @UNSWBABS @UNSWScience

It was a pleasure to attend the @UNSW Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) awards last Friday. Great to see so many @UNSWBABS Labs receiving their awards for lab sustainability and honoured to receive the Silver award representing the Baker Lab! #sustainable

[NarbadLab @NarbadLab]

Our latest paper in #GutMicrobes explores how Bilophila wadsworthia and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron interact in the gut, leading to increased H₂S production and metabolic changes that may contribute to inflammation and disease. Read more: https://t.co/wEQy3RyWo6

@BushyBio Congratulations @BushyBio!! Glad to see the former QIB "chicken lady" is doing so well! 🐔

[Matt Baker @phatmattbaker]

Nice explainer of our recent @UNSWBABS work to cobble together hybrid motors for baxterial swimming.

Also great to chat to @newscientist!
