Happy to share our work on T6SS & pili by PhD student Simon Otto. And thanks to Richard Servajean & Anne-Flo Bitbol for the amazing collaboration. Interactions between pili affect the outcome of bacterial competition driven by the type VI secretion system biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today, a 🧵about the preprint & the history behind it. When I was a postdoc in the Schoolnik lab, we discovered that chitin induces natural competence in Vibrio cholerae. Note that chitinous surfaces are "the place to be" for marine bacteria🤩 1/n science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So great to see this Current Biology paper out by Simon Otto et al from Dr. Melanie Blokesch lab just before his PhD defense next week. Interactions between pili affect the outcome of bacterial competition driven by the type VI secretion system cell.com/current-biolog…

Happy to see work by PhD student Simon Simon Otto published Current Biology Revisions took a bit longer, as he wrote his thesis in-between & defended it. Public defense this Friday🤓 Congrats Simon & collab R. Servajean, A-F. Bitbol, A. Lemopoulos🎉🥂 cell.com/current-biolog…
