Thanks again to @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social for capturing the moment! #BACELL2025
One of our SPP PhD students Lena presented her research on cannibalism in B. subtilis biofilms at the #BACELL2025 today!
Thanks to @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social for snapping a pic!
Only 2 more days until the ISBA! Genna's looking forward to 5 days of nothing but actinomycetes and the beautiful North Sea.
Tot snel!

Bacterial colony architecture is heavily influenced by the strain and its environment - how can we study the spatial organization of these heterogeneous groups?
Susann MΓΌller's group developed a method for biopsies on the microscale!

Throwback Thursday to our international conference in January!
120 PhD students, PIs, and guest speakers met in Berlin to present their amazing research on multicellular bacteria (and some archaea!)
Congratulations to our poster prize winners Ruth Viveros, Miriam Epping, and Danielle Lange!
Hi everyone and welcome to our profile for the DFG-funded SPP 2389 on emergent functions of bacterial multicellularity!
A lot has happened recently and we're looking forward to sharing all things bacteria, biofilms, and beyond with all of you!
Genna & Matthias
