Archaeal connectase - a valuable new tool for bioengineering (https://t.co/uL5XkplYVY). Great paper by @HartmannLab and Lupas Lab

[SchmitzStreitLab @SchmitzStreits]

Check out our new paper on a small protein regulating Glutamine synthetase in Methanosarcina mazei, fantastic collaborative work with Harald Schwalbe and Andreas Tholey within the SPP2002

In papillomaviruses, the composition of virion-packaged chromatin reflects the late stages of the viral life cycle and promotes the early stages of infection by being primed for viral transcription. @mBioJournal https://t.co/7g9iCZdytj

Myxococcus xanthus uses different mechanisms of predation for killing and degrading Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. @AppEnvMicro https://t.co/qdZX0Mt5Ys

Over 100,000 Viruses Identified in the Gut Microbiome

By mining human gut metagenomes & gut bacteria isolates, scientists compiled high-quality gut bacteriophage genomes & analyzed the diversity & worldwide distribution of phage.

Read mis-mapping is the hardest problem in metagenomics IMO. Metagenomic reads are true DNA observations, and we use genomes to represent biological populations. When reads are aligned to wrong genomes (mis-mapping) you get a distorted view of organism diversity & abundance (1/3)

Scientists developed universal primer sets for detecting genes for multidrug resistance efflux pumps. @AppEnvMicro https://t.co/kYVgTpHqWD

Nanaerobic imaging breathes new life into gut microbiota microscopy

https://t.co/nQbpIh6jqs

This month’s Under the Lens discusses a recent advance in the imaging of anaerobic gut bacteria using nanaerobic growth conditions. @martintjahn @ravinash_kk

[PLOS Pathogens @PLOSPathogens]

Anna Both & Holger Rohde et al @UKEHamburg shed light on processes of infection adaptation and demonstrate how #Staphylococcus epidermidis is able to flexibly edit factors important for colonization to allow survival under hostile infection conditions.

We are proud to announce our newest publication on the evolution of the metallo-ß-lactamases. We show that the Crenarchaeal Ignicoccus hospitalis Igni18 serves as the blueprint for ancestral enzymes. https://t.co/WLI3dmS8VE

An excellent article on microbes eating plastics and their role in reducing the global plastics pollution

[Microbiology Society @MicrobioSoc]

Microplastic pollution is currently at the forefront of public interest in #environmental science. In this blog Jack Henderson @MrMicrobe_discusses the role microbes have to play in solving the plastic pollution problem. https://t.co/cM3nPLRI3x

[Wolfgang R. Streit @streit_wolfgang]

Congratulations, very cool article

[SchmitzStreitLab @SchmitzStreits]

After more than a year hard work - Check out our new pre-print on more than 1,000 archaeal genomes from human gut microbiome; great collaboration with @chmoei, @alexmsalmeida, @CynthiaChibani, @AlexMahnert, @SGribaldo,@RobFin, @GBorrel and @J-F Brugère
