New paper🚨: Ever wonder how plants talk to fungi? When plants are low on phosphate (Pi), they exude #Strigolactones (SLs) in soil to obtain Pi from microbes. We show a broad range of fungi in soil respond to SLs 👇 Is the SL response in fungi conserved? authors.elsevier.com/a/1jsQB3vVUPRm…

Just published in Access Microbiology Microbiology Society, this #OpenAccess article presents one of my #PhD projects 📌The complete genome sequence of five pre-2013 Escherichia coli sequence type (ST)1193 strains reveals insights into an emerging pathogen doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0…

🚨🔬Excited to share our new paper now out in Nature Microbiology! Using Tn-seq + live imaging in engineered airway organoids, we explored the fitness tradeoffs P. aeruginosa faces while growing and surviving antibiotic treatment on the mucosal surface. 🔗 rdcu.be/dX4RR

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network. And the microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person. New #HNL work out today in nature. 1/

Intensifying agriculture has caused a reduction in soil carbon. Plant diversity, however, offers us a way to drive positive microbial associations that could enhance carbon use efficiency in agricultural soils. bit.ly/4f3mGKa Luiz Domeignoz Horta @NatureMagazine
