On Thursday, October 9th, I successfully defended my PhD in Genetics and Genomics, on the diversity, function and evolution of integron cassettes, at @pasteur.fr. Thanks to my PhD supervisor, @epcrocha.bsky.social and to my jury, headed by Ingrid Lafontaine!

Two intensive sampling periods of oyster-associated vibrio and their phage, 4 years apart, and many surprises. Despite being washed by the Atlantic, wide tides, and vibrio (almost?) disappearing most of the year, we can find the exact same virulent phages 4 years later (down to 0 SNP)! preprint👇

At last ! A tool specifically for phage-plasmid hunters. Check tyPPing by @karinailchenko.bsky.social and @eugenpfeifer.bsky.social

graphical abstract of the article the extended mobility of plasmids

Here's our new broad review on the extended mobility of plasmids, about all mechanisms driving and limiting their transfer. From conjugation to conduction, phage-plasmids to hitchers, molecular to evolutionary dynamics, ecology to biotech. The state of affairs. 1/9 academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

morphological and genomic distinctions of the phage

New paper @isme-microbes.bsky.social : Among a sample of 1044 vibrio phages, we found 17 new Schizotequatrovirus with large genomes (>250kb), a broad host range, and yet a low frequency in our samples (?!). #MicroSky #PhageSky

Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics induce phage bursts in the human gut microbiome. The use of antibiotics disrupts the gut microbiota, potentially leading to long-term health issues and the spread of resistance. To investigate the impact of antibiotics on phage populations, we follo...
