Payne Lab

Microbiology lab at @UTAustin studying 𝘝𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘰 and 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 species.

[Payne Lab @PayneLabUT]

The Payne Lab is glad to join the scientific Twitterverse! Our lab at UT Austin is focused on iron transport and gene regulation in 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 and 𝘝𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘰 species. We will be sharing our research work and lab activities 🦠🔬

Diffusion limits the size of cells. A single protein diffuses across a bacterium in just 10 ms, but diffuses across a human cell in 10 seconds, because the human cell has a diameter 20x larger.

TIL that there are very large bacteria, such as Thiomargarita magnifica, that are 1cm across and visible to the naked eye. They get around this diffusion limit by filling their cytoplasm with a "vacuole that occupies most of the cell (65–80% by volume) and pushes the cytoplasm to the periphery of the cell," where diffusion can occur.

Biology finds ways around human-perceived limits.

This summer, the lab is happy to host Eunhwan and Donggyu from Inha University, along with their PI Prof. Shin! 🥳

Their research questions are related to understanding carbon metabolism in enteric bacteria!🦠🧫

Welcome to @UTexasResearch @TexasScience @ut_mbs 🥳🥳

[Payne Lab @PayneLabUT]

Had a lab goodbye lunch @mandolasitalian to celebrate technician extraordinaire @austinpham00 's new life adventures as a medical student 🩺💉🏥🩸😷⚕️

All the best on your new life chapter, and we look forward to your graduation and excellence as a physician in a few years! ✨

First step in a community project to provide a uniformly assembled, annotated and searchable set of bacterial genomes, our preprint on our initial release of 1.9 million genome assemblies+taxonomic estimates. (figure compares with previous 661k dataset)

🎊Happy to share our lab's newest publication!🎊

We studied the stringent response alarmone (p)ppGpp's role in Shigella virulence and found it was important for expression of key virulence genes, bacterial invasion & intercellular spread ✅
