I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

Please share the ad below with anyone who may be interested.
A teal flyer for a PhD opportunity to investigate how warming may change antimicrobial resistance. The project will use experiments on Klebsiella bacteria to answer questions about how temperature affects their response to antibiotics, plasmid transfer, and fitness costs. The research involves microbiology lab work, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The flyer includes contact details for Dr. Daniel Padfield and the logos of the sponsoring institutions.

Mutations generate variation, critical for #evolution, but #MutationBias restricts the choice of mutation type. @deepaagashe.bsky.social &co use #Ecoli strains with different mutation biases to show that changing an old bias should yield more beneficial mutations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46LjCRt
Schematic of the key prediction tested in this work. As the transversion (Tv) mutation bias of WT E. coli is shifted away from the ancestral bias, the resulting distribution of fitness effects (DFE) is predicted to change. Specifically, it should shift left with a bias reinforcement, with a lower fraction of beneficial mutations. In contrast, reversing the ancestral bias is predicted to cause right-shifted DFEs with higher proportions of beneficial mutations.

Finally out after peer review, our work showing that "Mobile #Integrons carry Phage Defense Systems" is now published in Science 🎉

Short 🧵

Mobile integrons encode phage defense systems
Integrons are bacterial genetic elements that capture, stockpile, and modulate the expression of genes encoded in integron cassettes. Mobile integrons (MIs) are borne on plasmids, acting as a vehicle ...

I'm advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) on understanding how temperature may alter the ecology and evolution of AMR. Might suits someone with a microbiology/wet lab background who wants to expand into ecoevo. Or vice versa! But interest more important than experience.
