New preprint showing the importance of the highly conserved bacterial SPFH complex for aerobic respiration. Interesting similarity to mitochondrial prohibitins. Great work by Isa Pérez López in collaboration with Link Lab and facilities of Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share the new preprint of Robert Warneke ! The work identifies the complete pathway for coenzyme A synthesis in Bacillus subtilis.
Includes detective work Sherlock Holmes would be proud of!

Out now in @naturecomms! We show that the sensor kinase KdpD from E. coli is not just a histidine kinase, but acts as a bifunctional tandem serine histidine kinase, controlling the K+ pump KdpFABC on the transcriptional and post-translational level.

Wonderful to see Christopher Azaldegui and Y Hoang's experimental framework to assess biomolecular condensates in bacteria with quantitative microscopy, #superresolution imaging, and cell biology out in Nature Communications today. Anthony Vecchiarelli, it's been a wild ride! rdcu.be/dELa6

Finally published! Congrats once again to co-first authors Dr. Y Hoang (Y Hoang) and Chris Azaldegui (@azald3gui)!
