Jason Saba, Sternberg Awardee: #Bacteroides fragilis varies its cell surface with 8 capsular polysaccharide operons but only expresses 1 polysaccharide at a time using the combination of invertible promoters and a UpxY-UpxZ hierarchical regulatory program

Emmanuel Allwell: #Xenorhabdus nematophila tailocins display common heterospecific killing but vary in conspecific killing; susceptibility profiles of strains to lysates were associated with O-antigen biosynthesis genes #phages2025 🦠

Iana Fedorova: Acb2 sequesters nearly all known CBASS signaling molecules through two distinct binding pockets and therefore serves as a broad-spectrum “sponge” inhibitor of cGAS based innate immunity #phages2025 🦠
