Excited and proud to share our preprint!
A network of glycan sensing controls endosymbiosis in the protist, Paramecium bursaria 🦠 This includes an ancient eukaryote immune-like factor, and prokaryote proteins acquired via horizontal gene-transfer!

Immune-like glycan-sensing and horizontally-acquired glycan-processing orchestrate host control in a microbial endosymbiosis https://t.co/i93WRsuhnW #biorxiv_evobio
Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in @CurrentBiology! This study came from one simple question:
Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior?
(No, they don’t!)

In this paper we show that membranes bearing a mixture of bacterial and archaeal lipid characteristics display selectivity for D- sugars and L- amino acid isomers suggesting a solution to the chirality problem during the evolution of life.
Exploring the mechanisms behind #symbiosis requires an understanding of these interactions in a range of model systems.
@realBenJen discusses how the ciliate #protist Paramecium bursaria offers insights into how endosymbiotic interactions have evolved.

@sportsshoes_com Ok, thanks. I ordered less than a week ago and received the item a couple of days ago. So the only option would be to return and then reorder??
@RelishRunning hi, do you know when your Westonbirt tickets for 2024 will be available? Have a voucher to use by the end of the year, and would like to use it on this! Also, out of interest, will it be on runbritain/powerof10? Thanks 🙏
