After a long journey, I’m extremely happy to share with you our latest article related to the size and metabolic evolution of a very peculiar marine nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, published in Cell: Some more details in the 🧵 (1/6) cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Happy to see our paper out @nature today: A bacterial immune system conjugates ubiquitin-like proteins to phage tails. This generates non-infective virions Congrats Jens Hör & Sharon Grayer Wolf! Link to paper: tinyurl.com/Isg15 Read the thread: x.com/SorekLab/statu…

Congratulations to Nadefa for her PhD thesis defense, to Manuel Martinez Garcia and all the team! #vesicles #EVs

Job alert! 📢 I am offering a 2-year position for a bioinformatician. 💻 They will have to organise a database and pipeline to analyse antibiotic resistance genes. 🦠 The job is at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales and is funded by the Spanish National Plan. Contact me if you are interested!

A single-layer spot assay allows for fast high-throughput quantitation of phages against multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens. The method is less cumbersome than double-agar overlay plaque assay, the gold standard for phage enumeration. asm.social/20d JClinMicro EIC

📢Antibiotic efflux pumps in archaea contribute to antibiotic resistance. Excited to see this work published in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance led by former PhD student Dr Asma Fakhoury and Thomas Thompson QUB Pharmacy School great collaboration with Prof Miraz Rahman Drug Discovery Research Lab KCL rdcu.be/dPMmU

Tricking phages with reverse transcription Ilya Osterman summarized the beautiful discoveries from the labs of Sternberg Lab and Feng Zhang, who showed how bacteria defend against phages by expressing a protein that is not really encoded in their DNA science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy to share our new paper on the characterization of MSTV1, an archaeal virus infecting Methanobrevibacter smithii, the dominant archaeon in the human gut. This was a beautiful collaboration between Mart Krupovic and Simonetta Gribaldo labs. 👇🧵nature.com/articles/s4146…
