I’m thrilled to share our latest work in ⁦Nature Communications⁩ led by the brilliant ⁦Curtis⁩ and the first paper from his PhD. He discovered a new arabinose transporter in EHEC and found that metabolism of this sugar enhances T3SS expression nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out this new paper from the James Connolly lab
