Congrats Shamphavi!!!!

Happy to share that our story on the bacterial archaellum was published today in @natmicrobiol.nature.com
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats to the authors: @sshamphavi.bsky.social @loumollat.bsky.social @mariejoest.bsky.social Najwa Taib and @sgribaldo.bsky.social

Asgard archaea were first found in mud at the bottom of the North Sea. Today, cellular biologists Martin Pilhofer and Christa Schleper are exploring one of their more elusive structural elements: a totally tubular system that looks a lot like our own.

Exciting Aug 1️⃣ for two incredible people- Gregor Weiss and Jingwei Xu! Both are starting their independent labs 🔬🧪 TODAY 🥳
I am incredibly thankful 🙏 for their contributions to the lab and that I could be part of their journey

It was a wild ride👇

Total synthesis of (−)-griseocazine D2 and D3 The first stereoselective total synthesis of (−)-griseocazine D2 and D3 is reported. (−)-Griseocazine D2 and D3 are multiprenylated pyrroloindoline-DKP alkaloids biogenetically related to several bioa...

Concise Synthesis of Cyctetryptomycin A and B Enabled by Zr‐Catalyzed Dimerization A concise synthesis of cyctetryptomycin A and B employing a zirconium-catalyzed dimerization and CttpC-catalyzed oxidative macrocyclization is presented, including in-depth mechanistic analysis of th...

Stoked to see the total syntheses finally out for those wild neuroprotective diketopiperazines we talked about before! 💊🧠✨ Here's the one for cyctetryptomycin:

wooooow 😲😲😲

In a new episode of do we come from Asgard archaea?? -- microtubules!! 🚇 Congrats dream team @florianwollweber.bsky.social and @xujwet.bsky.social!!

Horizontal gene transfer of the functional archaellum machinery to Bacteria Motility in Archaea is driven by a nanomachinery called the archaellum. So far, archaella have been exclusively described for the archaeal domain; however, a recent study reported the presence of arch...

Would you expect that Bacteria use an archaellum for swimming? We didn't, but we found that some Chloroflexota do! Find the story here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A little thread below 1/n

Closing out our winter premier, @florianwollweber.bsky.social will tell us about his investigations into the elusive cell biology of Asgard archaea using state-of-the-art imaging techniques! Show your love for archaea by tuning in on WEDNESDAY! Remember, they're everywhere, always watching 👀

My first paper with the @pilhoferlab.bsky.social and my first post here in Bluesky! 🤩🦋
