@GeiselMed Congrats Deb!!

[Dominique Limoli @DominiqueLimoli]

Excited to share our newest pre-print outlining the discovery that bacteria traveling on a surface, by type IV pilus mediated twitching motility, use a designated chemoreceptor (PilJ) to detect and respond to interspecies signals (check out representative live imaging below!).

I still can't answer the question of "If a bacterium fits, does it sits?" But I can tell you, if you perturb the cell envelope, the bacterium will think it's time to sits.

Fascinating seminar by @ErinGloag today on bacterial competition and adaptation to sites of infection.

So much cool work on rugose small colonies, c-di-GMP, Gac/Rsm, and of course, phages!

Looking forward to new discoveries from the future Gloag lab at Virginia Tech
