Here, we tested a number of model bacteria and compared the results to previous studies. We found that cobamide preferences and requirements vary broadly across bacteria, as well as in cobamide-dependent pathways within the same organism. 4/4

They are not only required by humans, but also by nearly all bacteria. However, only a subset of bacteria can synthesize them, making them important shared nutrients. 3/4

What are cobamides and why are they important? Cobamides, with nearly twenty different forms found naturally, are the vitamin B12 family of molecules. 2/4

Two lab members holding signs. One sign says “Defund science defund musk” and the other sign says “Fund science not billionares”
Two lab members holding signs which say “This is not about waste it’s about control” and the other sign says “Stand up for science”
Lab member holding sign which says “Fund science save our F2s”
Lab member holding sign which says “DEI makes science great again. Science makes America great”
Last week we joined the Berkeley community to #standupforscience2025. Lots of energy and momentum to push us forwards! Thanks to the organizers who got this to happen 🧬 @standupforscience.bsky.social
