Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate forever chemicals, in intracellular aggregates and colonization of gnotobiotic mice with these bioaccumulating bacteria increases faecal PFAS excretion. @kiranrpatil.bsky.social

Check out our new paper showing that xenobiotics like pesticides and drugs can disrupt metabolic homeostasis in gut bacteria.

Interspecies interactions drive bacterial proteome reorganisation and emergent metabolism Species in microbial communities must respond to the presence of others to stave off resource competition or to capitalise on new resources that may become available due to additional metabolic activi...

Check out our new preprint!
We systematically map proteomic and metabolomic interactions between >100 pairs of gut bacteria, detecting metabolic interactions and functionally-related clusters of proteins.

Off-purpose activity of industrial and agricultural chemicals against human gut bacteria bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Check out our latest work on the unexpected inhibitory effects of common agricultural and industrial chemicals on our gut bacteria. A great collaboration with Anna, Indra and Kiran et al at the MRC Tox Unit in Cambridge.

Super excited to join @meehubs.bsky.social over the next 3 days and hear about microbial ecology. Loving the concept of a hub conference so far!
