Together the world’s most deadly & drug-resistant pathogens become more powerful & infectious! A/Prof Amy Cain's team & the Karl Hassan found that pathogenic bacteria co-exist in ~40% of hospital patients; together they survive higher antibiotic concs than alone bit.ly/3Xqk7Ir

Happy to share our new article reporting that Machado Joseph disease #mjd severity is linked with #gutmicrobiota alterations in a mouse model of the disease Great work by Katie Robinson Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre in collaboration with Hasinika Gamage Paulsen Lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share the first paper of a great collaboration. We report that changes in the #gutmicrobiome as an early marker of #neurodegeneration in a mouse #MJD model, even before any known symptoms are detected Thanks Katie Robinson Angela Laird Paulsen Lab Motor Neuron Disease Research Centre Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences

In nature today (open access), we report the structural and mechanistic basis of how bacteria harvest energy from air. We reveal a novel enzyme, Huc, consumes atmospheric levels of hydrogen gas and transfers the derived electrons for aerobic respiration. nature.com/articles/s4158…
