Tomorrow I will present work on global subsurface microbiomes at #ISME19. Session MS26 room 1.6 at 11:45. Here is a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The study would have been impossible without co-first author Isabella Hrabe de Angelis and an international team of amazing colleagues! 🫶💯

Borrelia burgdorferi is unusual. The cause of Lyme disease, this bacterium has unique attributes that have prompted its emergence as an atypical model system. In #JBacteriology, researchers summarize 50 years of research on this fastidious microbe: 🔗 asm.social/22n

JB Editor's Pick: Tu, Huynh, et al. show a link between cytochrome oxidase and beta-lactam resistance via the c-di-AMP binding protein PstA. This work links central metabolism to c-di-AMP signaling. journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11… ASM JBacteriology Eds

New in JB: Goetsch, Hershey, et al. working with Sphingomonas sp. LM7, a bacterium they isolated from Lake Michigan, identify an EPS pathway that diverges from other such pathways typical found in alphas. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

New JB: Killips, Gilk et al. uncover a new mechanism for Coxiella to interfere with host cell biology - impacting transcription of lysosomal biogenesis. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

I don't usually post personal stuff here, but as President of Friends of Hanover Football, I am helping fundraise for new helmets. My boys Brennan and Ian play on the high school and middle school teams, respectively, as lineman. Help if you can! raise.snap.app/donate/friends…

How E. coli Rose to Prominence – An Addendum by Roberto — In an era of microbiology largely dominated by research surrounding previously unimaginable extent of microbial diversity, here at STC we still have a strong affection for the advance... Read more > tinyurl.com/yh8nn2nb

According to this #JBacteriology review, laboratory-based studies must be grounded in nature, not the other way around. The deepest understanding of microbiology and its impact on the planet will come from studying microbes in nature. Read more: asm.social/23k

My latest for Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) highlights an absolutely wild form of cell division by C. matruchotii—a bacteria that lives in the human mouth. Instead of dividing into two, the bacteria splits into multiple cells at once, a rare process called multiple fission. (Watch the video)

New in JB! Gray (single author paper!) shows E. coli is sensitized to immune cell-generated hypothiocyanite by Ni, while polyphosphate plays a protective role, expanding our understanding of this host-microbe interaction. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

How do interspecies interactions promote biofilm formation? How does cross-feeding influence bacterial stress tolerance? This EIC Jack Gilbert study explores these questions, providing new insights on the role of metabolic interactions in microbial communities. asm.social/23P
