Ancestral immunity: @EnzoZ_P Aude Bernheim &co explore the concept of ancestral #immunity - the set of immune modules (domains & proteins) conserved between #prokaryotes & #eukaryotes - including a putative evolutionary scenario for its existence #PLOSBiology plos.io/4cJNLRm

My first, first author paper is finally out! Here we discover methylolanthanin, a lanthanide chelator secreted by methylotrophs 🧵(1/5) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

My first, first author paper is out in The ISME Journal ! Over the past few years in the Taga Lab we have been learning about how soil bacteria share corrinoids, largely thanks to funding from @DOEScience. Here, we got some answers by studying isolates.🧵 doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

My very first first-author research article is officially available The ISME Journal! See what it’s like for a bacterium to live off Chlamy’s photosynthesis under continuous &diurnal light. doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

Brat summer is never ending! I’m proud to announce the release of my thesis project on BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In this paper, we unravel the mysterious roles of RickA and Sca2 in cell-to-cell spread and pathogensis during infection with R. parkeri.
