A travelling-wave strategy for plant–fungal trade - Nature Symbiotic fungi control network-level structure and flows to meet trade demands.

🔬AM fungi (AMF) exhibit a self-regulating growth strategy characterized by travelling waves for spatial exploration over local densification. Does a self-regulated density represents a specific growth strategy in AMF driven solely by environmental carrying capacity?👇

🦠Yeasts are also an important group across the fungal kingdom, particularly those that are symbiontic and adapted to harsh environmental conditions❄️. However their diversity and taxonomy is less known 🔬

Conserved immunomodulation and variation in host association by Xanthomonadales commensals in Arabidopsis root microbiota - Nature Plants The authors show that immunosuppression is highly conserved in the bacterial order Xanthomonadales. This feature, which preceded their specialization as host-adapted pathogens, probably contributes to...

Physical cooperation between bacteria for shaping microbial mats that move toward light
In PNAS: ow.ly/7CVi50UVNO2

I don't agree with that statement.
Postdocs develop transferable skills (project management, data analysis, mentoring) highly valuable outside.
Leaving academia is often a strategic decision. Many postdocs transition successfully into industry, government, policy, etc, using their expertise.

Autoactive CNGC15 enhances root endosymbiosis in legume and wheat - Nature Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant–arbuscular mycorrhiza and nitrogen-fixing bacteria symbioses for nutrient acquisition, with a newly discovered autoactive CNGC15 mutant enhancing ...

Engineered nose bacteria sneak drugs into the brain Microbes that reside peaceably in the nasal passageways and on the skin can be harnessed for taking drugs to target cells.

A healthier brain could one day be just a snort away: bacteria that colonize the nose have been engineered to ferry drugs to the brains of mice.
