New work out in The ISME Journal showing cell aggregation in some marine polysaccharide degrading bacteria is driven by their capability to secrete extracellular enzymes that breakdown polysaccharides. Follow the 🧵for more info 👇🏽 nature.com/articles/s4139…

Excited to present our new work on degradation-dispersal cycles of marine polysaccharide foraging bacteria. We know cells like to grow as aggregates when polysaccharides become available. But what drives dispersal from aggregates to new nutrient hotspots? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to announce that I obtained an Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione grant to start as a junior group leader at IMSB_ETH at ETH Zürich! 🥳 We will study transcription regulatory networks in bacterial pathogens 🧬 Will soon advertise positions for a PhD student and Master projects!

I have an open position for a PhD student in molecular microbiology! The project is about the role of transcription factors during P. aeruginosa infections 🦠🧬. More details: imsb.ethz.ch/research/troui… Please share!

New preprint! A new direction for my research program: Bacteria can use antagonism to forage for nutrients in microbial communities. Shoot spearguns with toxins into other cells and leak out nutrients! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌊 Marine microbes manage to not only capture carbon from the atmosphere but also integrate this carbon into stable, persistent molecules. New PI Sammy Pontrelli joined @vib_microbes to unravel the secrets of those microbes. 👉 Read more: vibbio.tech/3QbzyTI
