He found another one of a bacterium with mitochondrial dysfunction
I don't know if I should laugh 😂 or cry 😭 ....

Bacterial 🦠 mitochondria 🙈 .... What a shit 😅

@sholtodavid.bsky.social pointed in X for an "unreviewed" article with status officially reviewed in @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social

Maybe it's AI generated with no efforts from authors, editors or reviewers to go through it?

It was a great pleasure hosting Prof. Edileusa Marques Gerhardt from Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil for our regular @mibinet.bsky.social seminar series @hhu.de

She told us about the recent updates in #PII #Signaling in bacteria 🦠 .... What a beautiful system ;-)

We discovered a new family of c-di-NMP receptors, widespread in bacteria & regulating🦠motility @pnas.org

A great collab. w/ @mygalperin.bsky.social @vikramalva.bsky.social @thethormannden.bsky.social

A new doctor is born 😊🥳
Welcome with me Dr. Haffner, the first PhD student of the group after wonderful years @cmfi.bsky.social

Michael published 8 articles & a review with 3 as 1st author..

This CutA project is close to my heart as it was my first 3rd party funded project.
It was/still a highly risky project but ended quite well with a huge team effort from hard core chemistry to microbiology & biophysics

Thanks @cmfi.bsky.social + Forchhammer for financial support & believing in us!

With great help of Hughes & Petras groups, pteridines were identified as natural ligands of CutA protein. Lumazine dehydroxyxanthopterin B2, a new pteridine, was found to bind CutA.
Pteridines are involved in Redox biology, so we found that cutA mutants of #cyanobacteria & E.coli have redox problems

It was a great pleasure having Ferran from @uarizona.bsky.social in our @mibinet.bsky.social seminar series @hhu.de

He showed us how #cyano can attract friends in desert 🏜️ and how ugly friends can eat them from inside #Cyanoraptor
