We shown the very first quantitative evidence to localise the sequestration of C55 oligosaccharide intermediates to the cytosolic face of the cytoplasmic membrane. Thanks Microbiology Society for giving the concise story a good home. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Our new work showed an adjusted level of membrane fluidity, not too wobbly, and not too rigid, is beneficial for biofilm development in E. coli; we hypothesise this is likely the case with many species, and actions taken during transitions depend on their planktonic cell statues.

Alzheimer’s disease is likely caused by stalled protein processing in the brain, according to a new study. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

A new structural paradigm for outer membrane protein biogenesis in the Bacteroidota biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_micrbio

Isolated in just 3 years! (Much faster than the 12 years in our previous study). We cultured two strains from 'Hodarcaheales', proposed to be closest to our archaeal ancestors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our student Xavier Bertran (who is not on X) worked out that in a closed culture system, the nitro oxide donor SNP, in addition to its role in dispersing PAO1 biofilms, promotes PAO1 biofilm and planktonic cell growth, potentially through donating its iron centre.
