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
🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨Excited that the work from my PhD at the @TheQuadram@NarbadLab is now published in the @MicrobioSoc journal. The nisin O biosynthetic gene cluster lacks a leader-peptide cleaving protease but is distributed across gut-associated genera. https://t.co/EpE2TWZMry
Congratulations to Dr. Jacob Scadden from @UNSW for receiving the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) Award for an outstanding poster presentation at #blastmeeting2025! 🏆👏 Well deserved! #blastmeetings#microbiology@FEMSmicro
It is an honour to have been awarded the FEMS Microbiology Reviews outstanding poster award at the #blastmeeting2025! Thank you to the judges and all those who came to my poster and talked all things flagellin! @FEMSmicro@UNSWBABS@UNSWScience@BlastMeetings
"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
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
Nice explainer of our recent @UNSWBABS work to cobble together hybrid motors for baxterial swimming.
Also great to chat to @newscientist!
