Oxford University researchers awarded £5m to tackle drug-resistant TB Seventeen Oxford University researchers have been awarded £5 million to develop new therapies for drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Congratulations to colleagues at University of Oxford who have been awarded £5M to develop new therapies for drug-resistant TB. This multidisciplinary consortium works across five research stages to advance TB drug and vaccine development, addressing #AMR.

Im Hintergrund ist ein Foto von Britta Haßelmann, die vor einer dunkelgrünen Wand steht, auf der mehrere gelbe stilisierte Sonnenblumen zu sehen sind. Vor ihr steht ein Mikrofon, in welches sie reinspricht. Darauf steht geschrieben: „Es gab gestern einen Verlierer. Und das ist der Klimaschutz. Britta Haßelmann, Fraktionsvorsitzende“

Während die Welt das 1,5 Grad-Ziel reißt, fanden die Bekämpfung der #Klimakrise und der Schutz von Natur und Umwelt gestern nicht statt. Dabei geht es hier um unsere Lebensgrundlagen. Klimaschutz ist Menschenschutz.

We return after a few months' break the virtual microbiology journal club that I run for a few years now. We had some really great speakers along the years. If you want to be included in the mailing list, please email me to alevy@mail.huji.ac.il

The next speaker is Prof. Peter Sebo.

Dear #Streptomyces community, Jana (@janitensen.bsky.social) and I want to test the evolvability/plasticity of Streptomyces metabolic networks. We plan to use #auxotrophic strains for this. If you have some and are willing to share, please get in touch with us! Thank you!

👋 Hi antiphage defense community, we are soon releasing an update of DefenseFinder.

We are doing our best to include all the great discoveries from the community, but with so much going on we might miss things.

Please answer wt preprints/papers with new systems or mail/git them to us. 🙏

Relating ecological diversity to genetic discontinuity across bacterial species - Genome Biology Background Genetic discontinuity represents abrupt breaks in genomic identity among species. Advances in genome sequencing have enhanced our ability to track and characterize genetic discontinuity in ...

And it’s been a while since I dipped my toe into the questions of what ‘species’ might mean for bacteria, and how they relate to ecology. But still interests me! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Cell shape and division septa positioning in filamentous Streptomyces require a functional cell wall glycopolymer ligase CglA | mBio Streptomyces are our key producers of antibitiotics and other bioactive molecules and are, therefore, of high value for medicine and biotechnology. They proliferate by apical extension and branching of hyphae and undergo complex cell differentiation from ...

Natalia now about CglA and LCP-domain proteins: influence on development (almost like bld mutant) including slightly longer spore shape = failures in FtsZ-ring positioning and hyphae are wider of the mutant

see their #mBio paper:

Natalia highlights the multicellularity of Streptomyces and continues to describe the role of secondary messengers, like c-di-AMP

To honour Lone Gram’s significant contributions to microbial secondary metabolite research, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces lonegramiae (DSM 41529) after her.
Fun Fact: Gram's great-grandfather developed the Gram stain 😉

Liebe alle,

es ist Infekt-Zeit. Man sollte dringend eine Grippe-Schutzimpfung erwägen, und auch eine COVID-Auffrischung. Meine Familie inklusive der Kinder haben es auch schon.

Die fast greifbare Zurückhaltung bei der diesbezüglichen Beratung in der Praxis macht mich fassungslos.

If you or your children haven’t received your flu vaccines this year yet, it’s not too late!

Signed,

Prepping for my most depressing lecture of the semester.

Today's topic: climate change is real and caused by us, and we can't solve it just by recycling our water bottles.

Here's what everyone needs to know* about climate change:

🌍 It's real
👥 It's human-caused
⚠️ It's serious
💡 With immediate action, it's solvable
⌛ Later is too late

* social science shows these msgs increase acceptance of the issue, awareness of the risk and, most importantly, willingness to act.
