Govern i patronal són responsables d’esta catàstrofe. La pluja no es pot evitar, però les negligències sí.

How does a microbial community develop? @SilviaEsB and Project Group Leader Remy Colin discovered that purely physical effects of swimming bacteria form its architecture. #bacteria #biophysics Press Release: https://t.co/rDxFieYH4Y

Excited to share our latest publication on the ParABS system @PNASNews @bacterialOrder @mpi_marburg @IMPRS_Mic! We've quantified and characterised the behavior of ParA, an ATPase that oscillates within cells. (1/6)

I am very happy to share our pre-print on the prototyping of a complex enzyme cascade (the CETCH cycle) using in vitro transcription-based (ROSALIND) biosensors. Thanks to everybody involved. We are looking forward to your feedback! @erblabs

The movement from motile bacteria swimming on the surface of a fluid organizes the non-motile bacteria into distinct non-equilibrium spatial patterns.

Happy and super excited to share our discovery of a protein fractal! We unravel the surprisingly simple emergence of these marvellous structures and show it might have even been an accident of evolution. Read the full story here

@elcinelif2 Thanks 😍

[PRX Life @PRX_Life]

This PRX Life study shows a new way that microbes self-organize! By swimming in circles near the surface in a fluid, motile #bacteria create spatial patterns that organize non-motile bacteria into non-equilibrium spatial structures.

This work opens new avenues for understanding how physical traits like motility and gravity shape microbial communities. Huge thanks to my supervisor Remy Colin and to @sourjik!

This pattern formation is driven purely by physical interactions. The key? Motile bacteria swimming in circles generate hydrodynamic flows, moving nonmotile cells, while gravity breaks vertical symmetry, allowing density accumulation.

[SourjikLab @sourjik]

And here is another preprint. Ira's work shows that bacterial investment of resources in the costly motile behaviour is ruled by physics: https://t.co/InNXaLcXhH

Happy to share Giovanni's new preprint on experimental evolution of a synthetic microbial community. Surprisingly fast emergence of a novel dependence between partners on nitrogen assimilation.

Excited to share our new study on bacterial chromosomal loci dynamics,

[SourjikLab @sourjik]

Our work on using FRET to measure single-cell dynamics of bacterial metabolism has just been published. Interesting oscillatory behaviour under the hood of bacterial cells.
Excellent collaboration with @LinkLabs !

After a long break, we went to the IMPRS retreat again! Our senior doctoral researchers presented their research, discussed career path options and had an opportunity to network with peers, former members of our program and guests from industry.
