Massive well done to Elmira Mohit (in the Tap Tpg cap) who passed her PhD yesterday. Thanks to examiners Dan Walker and Ricardo Del Sol! Who doesn't love linear chromosomes?

Very interesting discovery! Streptomyces produce large narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics. Umbrella toxin particles produced by Streptomyces block mycelial growth of competing species biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pleased to share this story in collaboration with @DonalWallLab! Following on from our recent work, here we took a deep dive into the prophages of a novel C. clostridioforme strain that exhibits significant genome expansion through accrual of MGEs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)

Excited to share that we partner with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine & Gyeongbuk Institute for Bio Industry (GIB) to advance our glycoconjugate vaccine development of affordable #StrepA vaccines for all! #glycotime - Thanks to the @righfund for funding!

I’m looking to hire Two Post-Docs Strathclyde Science to use #engineeringbiology to improve #sustainability of industrial #Streptomyces fermentations strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/14… if you’re at #Microbio24 and want to chat about them, drop me a DM

Come and join a really exciting project - a collaboration between Claudio Avignone Rossa GSK and us here at Strathclyde on #Streptomyces #EngBio #SynBio #CompBiol #MtabolicModelling pls pass on to any interested modellers/computational biologist pls RT

👏So proud of this achievement! Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones. We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!

🌟 Huge congratulations to Glox Therapeutics, a BIA member, for securing £1 million in grant funding from the PACE-AMR initiative! 👏 #AMRweek This funding will accelerate the development of their precision #antibiotics, harnessing bacteriocins to combat drug-resistant bacteria. With
