Very many congratulations to the new Dr Margarita and very many thanks to Dr Emma Denham 👩🏻‍🦰🧬🧫🦠👩‍🔬🔬🥳 and Megan Bergkessel for being her examiners. Proud of you and what you have accomplished.

Hi all, anyone know of the best promoter to use in Bacillus to ensure the most control over transcription? (Least leak?)

Happy to share some of Margarita’s PhD work - The putative role of the epipeptide EpeX in Bacillus subtilis intra-species competition - go.shr.lc/3J4wIfV She was funded by EastBio DTP a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research doctoral training partnership. Microbiology Society was a great journal to work with.

So proud to have my Transwell image on the cover of Mol Micro Editors! If you are interested in #Bsubtilis and #publicgood sharing in different ecological contexts please check our paper in the editor's choice section.

Last week I passed my Ph.D. viva with minor corrections! That's it, after four years I'm officially married to science 🧪🦠🧫 Thank you again Bacterial Cities for your unconditional support! Now, it's time to write a new chapter of my scientific journey...

Super excited I made it to ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology in Cape Town! We are here with a good representation of microbial members from UC Irvine UCI Microbiome , including my lab faculty.sites.uci.edu/verdugolab/

So happy to have the opportunity to present my work at #ISME19! Come and check my poster tomorrow if you want to know more about cross-feeding interactions and bacterial diversification 🦠🔬

📌A highly interdisciplinary #PhD project is available at Physics Astro @ Edin! The successful candidate will learn and deploy ideas from #physics #microbiology #engineering & materials sciences and also work with NBIC's Prof Cait MacPhee & Bacterial Cities Learn more➡️tinyurl.com/3vu5ns6x

As usual Akos T. Kovacs is on top of things! I'm very proud of this work lead by PhD candidate Zahraa Al-Tameemi in my lab. And I'm happy this is published in the great journal mSystems!
