Thanks @fabricejpierre.bsky.social, hope all is well!

We anticipate that the FAP-fluorogen labeling approaches described here will enable research in diverse areas of microbiology. O2 independence combined with far-red spectral properties! Could be used to tag proteins, to label multiple organisms, or to monitor gene expression. #microsky #biofilm

Using this approach, we characterize biofilm dispersal in V. cholerae. We find that dispersal initiates at biofilm periphery and ~25% of cells never disperse. We define novel micro-scale patterns during dispersal, including biofilm compression and regional heterogeneity in cell motions (see movie).

Mind adding me?😀

Leaky ice bucket left on top of lab notebook overnight 😭

Congratulations 👏

I would love to be included, thanks!

...and tag your own posts with #MicroSky if appropriate. it helps (=be your own algorithm 😌)
