Happy to share our new #review on cdGMP #signaling: doi.org/10.1093/femsml… We highlight how #bacteria manage to control several signaling pathways in parallel (despite relying on the same diffusible #molecule!) & take a glimpse at what's next in #secondmessenger signaling.

Light-sheet imaging of biofilms at the air-liquid interface. Check out the distinct cell layers and bacteria zipping around like comets in the liquid 💫. Honored to be part of this amazing study by Raju Tomer’s lab and collaborators. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The full-size file for "Bacteriophage T4 Infection" is freely available @buildmodels at: pdb101.rcsb.org/sci-art/goodse…. I drew it at a scale of 1 pixel/nm, so the file is huge and hopefully good for poster-size prints. Here's a detail of the bursting cell.

Finished "Bacteriophage T4 Infection" this morning. The thin white line at left, which folds up and down 10 times, depicts the length of the T4 genome. After I add a few finishing touches and make sure I haven't forgotten anything, I'll put the full-size file @buildmodels.

Wissenschaft ist dogmatisch & lässt keine abweichenden Querdenkermeinungen zu, behaupten manche Leute. Die Geschichte vom angeblichen Supraleiter LK-99 beweist das Gegenteil: Wissenschaft ist bemerkenswert offen und nimmt selbst schräge Behauptungen ernst. futurezone.at/meinung/wissen…

A new layer of regulation of cell growth and LPS synthesis in E. coli involves (p)ppGpp and a moonlighting activity of RNase H 🤯 Shown in this paper by Brückner & al from the @FranzNarberhaus lab 👇 academic.oup.com/microlife/arti…

Ja ok, die Temperaturen im Nordatlantik sind viel zu hoch. Aber dafür ist die Eismenge rund um den Südpol viel zu niedrig. Wenn man das zusammenzählt, gleicht sich das also aus. Wenn ich zu wenig Geld habe und dafür zu viel Alkohol trinke, wird ja bekanntermaßen auch alles gut.

"rpoS codon usage leads it to be particularly sensitive to slowed translation, due to either lack of polyamines or hyperproofreading, leading to co-translational degradation" jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Diving into biofilms 🤿 reveals beautiful cellular organization that affects substrate distribution and antibiotic tolerance. Exciting work by @HannahDayton , our collaborators @TheMinLab @ajlabny @jasnir_ Raju Tomer & their labs! #microanatomy biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

⚠️ Vor Protestbeginn in Gewahrsam genommen In Regensburg gab es heute erstmals eine präventive Gewahrsamnahme vor Protestbeginn. Simon Lachner wurde von der Polizei aus dem Haus geschleift, um an einem Protest in der Stadt später am Tag nicht teilnehmen zu können. 1/2

Do you wonder what nucleotide-based second messengers do in archaea? We do! Read about what is known here: doi.org/10.1093/femsml… @SPP1879 @BUnifr

Should I stay or should I go 🦠 lovely new study on bimodal regulation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm heterogeneity by @Jenal_Lab @biozentrum @UniBasel_en Readcube: rdcu.be/dd8Dg nature.com/articles/s4156…

I'll be happy when .. I finish my PhD I finish this paper I get the grant I get the fellowship I get promoted I get through this semester How about being happy now? @lizandmollie

Ok, so Germany is likely to miss its climate targets for 2030 and currently doesn't have a plan of how to speed up climate action. The response of the German government? Criminalizing peaceful activists. It's a global trend, and it should worry all of us. edition.cnn.com/2023/05/24/eur…
