Fungus-farming termites can protect their crop by confining weeds with fungistatic soil boluses The symbiotic agriculture of fungus-farming termites can collapse if they fail to prevent invading weeds. Previous studies suggest a role for symbiotic fungistatic microbes in bringing about weed cont...

I just love that our civilization is capable of being curious about termite fungus farming and pest control behavior.

They use soil balls to contain contamination of their crop, which also happens to carry fungistatic bacteria.

AI mirrors experimental science to uncover a mechanism of gene transfer crucial to bacterial evolution By solving a previously unsolved biological question, the AI co-scientist predicted a complex mechanism of gene transfer and generated hypotheses that opened new research directions, illustrating AI's...

Our second paper with @tcostalab.bsky.social and GoogleDeepMind
reports our experience with Google’s co-scientist: remarkably, the AI independently recapitulated our experimental discovery on cf-PICIs, showcasing AI’s potential to accelerate biology.

Genomic constraints shape the evolution of alternative routes to drug resistance in prokaryotes Background Variation within the prokaryotic pangenome is not random, and natural selection that favours particular combinations of genes appears to dominate over random drift. What is less clear is wh...

New preprint reveals bacteria can't just collect all resistance genes like Pokemon cards.

Had an amazing time at the legendary Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages meeting in beautiful Madison!

'Flesh-Eating' Bacteria Vibrio Cases Are Rising in Several States. Should You Skip the Beach? Eight people have died in the U.S. this year in Florida and Louisiana from infection with Vibrio vulnificus, a "flesh-eating" bacteria that can spread through seawater and seafood.

I recently did an interview with NBC TODAY on the increase of V. vulnificus cases in the US. Always great to work with Caroline Kee!
