#sialicacid Have the feeling this small RNA had been identified before in an hfq study, but didn’t cross-check yet. FYI STM1128 is the Neu5Ac transporter SiaT, identified by, @gavinhthomas.bsky.social & others back in 2010 ;-) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I last worked on AmtB 21 years ago, but it’s nice to see there’s still research being done with this nice transporter: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Phage DisCo! Our targeted phage discovery method in press today: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... Perfectly timed with our four summer undergrad's first successful phage hunt... disco lights in the lab to mark the occasion 🕺

Early in the #evolution of life a biochemical network was encapsulated within a membrane compartment. This study shows that specific #membrane forms can select for stereochemical compounds that match the pattern of #stereochemistry used by all known living things @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4jdyLh1

The 2026 edition of the Early Career Forum Co-chairing Scheme is right around the corner. Register your interest by 28 July 2025 23:59 BST for a chance to take part in session chairing activities during Annual Conference 2026 - microb.io/3GuiDds

It was a really nice experience to give a talk at Northumbria University! Very happy to get to present our work on Zorya systems for the first time - A huge thank you to @emmseveri.bsky.social and (not on bluesky?) Ciarán Kelly and Darren Smith for the invitation!

A pleasure and a treat to have Giusy present her work at NU. Amazing as always

1/ Excited to share our latest work on gene transfer agents (GTAs) in Caulobacter crescentus, led by Emma Banks in collaboration with Pavol Bardy and Mai Nguyen from York!!! See a brief thread below. shorturl.at/o6S1w

Phage phriends reunited once more @giusym1990.bsky.social (stuffing their faces with Italian food ;-) )

We’re thrilled to be featured on the May cover of Nature Microbiology... And our Research Briefing is out now—check it out, it’s 🔥! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
