New in JB: The production of alginate in CF isolates of P. aeruginosa is driven by the MucA22 mutation. Sommerfield, Darwin et al. show that the Prc protease targets MucA22 (but not the WT protein). journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity 🚨 The Ronneau Lab is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to join our team in 2025! If you're passionate about microbiology and stress responses in pathogenic bacteria, we want to hear from you! 📍Location: Rennes, France ronneaulab.com

JB Editor's Choice: Hourigan, Ross et al. use genomic approaches to identify new leaderless bacterocins in Actinomycetota, and provide experimental evidence for their antimicrobial activity. Such bacteriocins could represent new antimicrobials. ASM JBacteriology Eds
