A student contacted me and pitched a project that was almost exactly the same as a project in my lab. It’s the strongest scientific interest overlap I’ve ever encountered. She has met with and networked with many senior US faculty in the field. She got funding! 1/2

Research highlights how defects in PG recycling compromise cell wall biogenesis, leading to β-lactam sensitivity, making it an essential target for enhancing current therapeutic strategies. Major targets include a lytic transglycosylase SdpA and membrane trasnporter protein AmpG.

We’re excited to share our #FluorescenceFriday series post from the Core Imaging Facility (CIF) at DLS-SNS!

This phenomenal assemblage beautifully illustrates fluorescently labelled bacterial cell physiology, captured at 100X magnification with 4X optical zoom.

Did you know that bacteria can create a smell like butterscotch? Streptococcus anginosus make this strange odor through a compound called diacetyl, which gives off a sweet, buttery aroma. It may sound strange, but it's a real thing!
