Many of you in the mycobacterial community attended the awesome inaugural 2025 Biology of Mycobacteria GRC, organized by @heran.bsky.social and myself: www.grc.org/biology-of-m....
I am writing with an update about this conference as the new chair.

A new study from the Rudner lab defines a comprehensive set of genes required for spore formation in Bacillus anthracis. Similarities and striking differences between the Bacillus subtilis model and this important human pathogen are described. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41385520/

Fer got Tn-seq running, built an ordered knockout library, defined all essential sporulation genes, and found a peptidoglycan deacetylase inhibitor critical for engulfment. Including our first one-by-all Alphafold screen! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
