OK, here it is. Come work with me at the University of Liverpool making ALL THE AI models from ALL THE prokaryote pangenome data. Heck, we will make models from ALL the pangenomes, even eukaryotes!!! (link below👇) 1/4

I don’t know if my lab has a sufficiently high biosecurity clearance to attempt this

Decoding the functional role of the calcium ATPase YloB in microbially induced calcite precipitation and sporulation in Solibacillus silvestris Calcium homeostasis is essential for bacterial physiology, yet its regulation and role in specialized processes such as microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) and sporulation remain poorly u...

New preprint out from the team! Master‘s student extraordinaire Julia Bauer stumbled across a Ca transporter needed for endospore maturation in Solibacillus 🧫🔬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It was great to finally meet you in person and share our fascination for microbes from weird habits! 🤓🧫🔬

Fascinating seminar by Prof @gebhardlab.bsky.social on ‘Building bacterial bridges – How an ancient bacterial trait can help us build the infrastructure of the future’ and visit at @cbcb-newcastle.bsky.social (hosted by @henrikstrahl.bsky.social) #bacillus #spores

Publish in Society Journals 🧪🦠🧬

Also I recently published in Microbial Genomics and it was a great process - fast, reasonable/fair reviews, quick formatting and processing after acceptance.

Congratulations, Dr Pisarz! It was a pleasure reading your thesis and discussing your research with you today 😎 And of course congrats to proud supervisor @heermann-lab.bsky.social 🥳🥳

Well, I now genuinely don’t work in the UK anymore, which makes it a different sort of fun…

Clostridioides difficile is a bacterial priority pathogen

Important: if a bug does not make the WHO's priority list, this does not mean it is not relevant. We present arguments why investment in R&D for surveillance, control and treatment of C. difficile (CDI) is of critical importance: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Big thanks to the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at University of Otago for hosting me for a sabbatical. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay!
Time to travel slowly back to the UK (and start being a stranger on an island), but first a visit to IMB/University of Queensland.

OMG that’s insane, I’m so sorry 😔

Me too! It’s a ridiculous process considering the people they are checking already work at a HE institution in the same country

Big thank you to @jeaninerismondo.bsky.social for the invitation and a wonderful day in Göttingen full of science and cake and coffee! Also thanks to @joergstuelke.bsky.social for the night tour of the city. Very glad I finally got to visit this hot spot of Science past and present 🧫🦠🔬

The TerC family metal chaperone MeeY enables surfactin export in Bacillus subtilis | Journal of Bacteriology Bacillus subtilis produces surfactin, a powerful detergent-like compound that functions in intercellular communication, surface motility, and as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Production of surfactin, a cyclic lipopeptide, depends on a non-...

In B. subtilis, TerC proteins function in Mn export to support the metalation of exoenzymes. MeeY is also required (directly or indirectly) for production of surfactin, a lipopeptide required for swarming motility! (collab. with Dan Kearns' lab @IU).
