New paper out in @pnas.org, and it made the cover! 👁️
We represent plasmids as circles and mutations as dots, resembling an eye, because in this paper we literally 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ plasmids evolve.

We’re excited to kick off a new season of the Klebsiella Seminar Series, held on Thursdays in April 🧫🧬!
We have 3 sessions on pathogenesis, pediatric Klebsiella & translational approaches. We will also have an open session.
Registration is mandatory & FREE in this link

Last project of my PhD is out as a preprint!
📣 Preprint Alert: How can evolution recruit existing enzymes during bacterial lifestyle changes?
Discover how mutations in a bifunctional enzyme 🔄 alter bacterial c-di-GMP metabolism, decoupling it from external polyamine signaling, and steering cells from a planktonic to a biofilm lifestyle 🦠
Discover how mutations in a bifunctional enzyme 🔄 alter bacterial c-di-GMP metabolism, decoupling it from external polyamine signaling, and steering cells from a planktonic to a biofilm lifestyle 🦠
Biofilm selection constitutively activates c-di-GMP synthesis by the bifunctional enzyme MbaA
Biofilms, in which microbes are encased within a self-produced matrix, represent the primary mode of microbial life. Yet, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing biofilm formation rema...
