It's out! It's out! 📢The bacterial Tc Toxins are out😱☠️ (and our paper 📜😉)! But how did these huge complexes get out? Where did they assemble? 🧐 Check out Tc Toxins' great escape from Yersina 🦠 Nature Microbiology: nature.com/articles/s4156… #cryoET #toxins #microbiology 🧵1/4

Congrats to @miki_hannah and to all collaboration partners.

Have you ever had nightmares of killer archaea? 🔪☠️😱 stop dreaming! Have a look at our latest preprint on how Halogeometricum borinquense uses it type 6 secretion system to kill Haloferax volcanii: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

An accompanying paper from the Matos lab in collaboration 👯‍♀️👯 with us and the Pedro Beltrao lab and Aebersold lab at Developmental Cell unveils coordinated waves 🌊🌊🌊 of protein expression and phosphorylation in yeast gametogenesis. cell.com/developmental-…

Fly-fishing for flagella... Check out the lovely perspective by Andrew Lovering and Simon Caulton 🙏🙏 about our findings on bacterial predation via ixotrophy. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers at ETH Zurich have analysed down to the smallest detail the unusual arsenal of weapons that a predatory marine bacterium has at its disposal. Perhaps one day these weapons could also be put to use in medicine. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Bye bye X/Twitter! Please come visit us on Bluesky Pilhofer Lab.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/pilhof… for future lab news, including a new paper on an Archaeal Type 6 Secretion System!

In a collaboration between the Pilhofer Lab and the Albers Lab from the University of Freiburg, the researchers show that haloarchaea express contractile injection systems – or “molecular daggers”, which influence the microbial communities they inhabit. biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
