Very proud to finally be able to share really exciting new results of our long-term project on cell-wall deficient bacterial #L_forms ! Great work from Jan Wohlfarth, @phageboi, Samuel Kilcher, #Markus Schuppler and Miki and Martin from the Pilhofer Lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Feeling very honoured about this compliment 😊

L-forms on the cover ! Shown are false-coloured L-form #Enterococcus cells escaping the cell wall after #bacteriophage #endolysin triggered PG-damage. Fantastic cryo-EM imaging by Miki Feldmüller and Jan Wohlfarth; with artist support from Fabienne Estermann nature.com/nmicrobiol/vol…
