1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔 Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀 🔗:cell.com/trends/microbi…
I am really happy and grateful that the new SubtiWiki is finally released as the official version. Thank you, @c_elfmann and team, for this great work for our scientific community. @uniGoettingen @IMPRS_GS And by the way, don’t miss to follow @c_elfmann to learn what comes next
Proudly announcing the early release of SubtiWiki v5 (subtiwiki.uni-goettingen.de)! It has many new features which we hope you'll like. It also still might have some bugs / missing data, so please don't hesitate to let us know! #subtiwiki #bacillus #subtilis @IMPRS_GS @JorgStulke
See you there. @cyanolab.bsky.social

Why did chloroplasts retain some genes from their free-living ancestors rather than transferring all of them to the nucleus following endosymbiosis? Possibly, mRNA targeting explains gene retention in chloroplasts? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Are you interested in exploring how RNA modifications influence gene expression in bacteria? My lab invites applications for a fully-funded PostDoc position at Jena University. For details, please visit: microverse-cluster.de/files/content/…
Big thank you to Anita Marchfelder who initiated the @dfg_public funded #SPP2141 „CRISPR-Cas - beyond defence“ and successfully guided a crazy bunch of scientists to their targets 😊. Very grateful for 6 years of inspiring interactions and collaborations within the SPP!!
A DFG-funded Phd position for 3 years to study gene regulation in cyanophages is available at Cyanolab in beautiful Freiburg/Germany from Jan 2025. Please re-tweet, details here: cyanolab.de/index.php
Call for Abstracts 1st International Conference on Emergent Functions of Bacterial Multicellularity tu-dresden.de/mn/biologie/al… #Bacterial Multicellularity
I'm happy to share the fruit of a long labour. Many thanks to all co-authors! @GabyGonzE @jensRNA @marteyn_lab @LabRomby biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
International Conference on Emergent Functions of Bacterial Multicellularity (Berlin Jan 2025) #callforabstracts #registration open
Cyanobacteria are the only bacteria with a fully functioning circadian clock system. The proteins KaiA, KaiB and KaiC are at the heart of this clock. But why would a cyanobacterium have two such systems in parallel? The answer is here: nature.com/articles/s4146…
2/2 Additional information regarding oral and poster abstract submission, travel, and hotel accommodations, will be posted in October. In the meantime, please send questions to [email protected]. Best wishes, Shoshy Altuvia, Tine Arnvig, Paul Babitzke, and Simon Dove
1/2 Please mark your calendars for the 8th Conference on Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea! The meeting will be held September 1 - 4, 2025, at the Strasbourg Convention Centre, Strasbourg, France 🇫🇷. We are very excited and hope to see as many of you as possible!
Only two days left until the start of #EWBC2024! Excited to dive into cyanoscience and reconnect with old friends!
The day is approaching fast, we are looking forward to meet the Cyanobacterial Research community in Seville next September. Check our web for updates; Thanks to our sponsors @FEMSmicro @AMI_SMIJournal @agrisera @AllGenetics @STABVIDA @IBVF_Sevilla C.viral
Amazing results out of the cyro-EM! We can finally see the water molecule within the PSII reaction center! Congratulations to my fellow colleagues at Umea University and Co-worwers! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
