It's seem like arginine is emerging as a major host cue. So we wrote an IAI minireview on how arginine levels vary between host tissues and affect microbial behavior.
The review is online today!

Congrats Saroj on a wonderful and informative review!
Our review broadly examining how bacteria control capsular polysaccharide chain length and cell surface attachment is in press.

@microbiosaroj.bsky.social master-minded the review with help from @emilykinney.bsky.social and @brookeeryan3.bsky.social

Very excited to have had the opportunity to present an elevator pitch of my work at the UPMC Women’s Initiative Taskforce Symposium. It was amazing to be able to represent the Mike Lab at my first public talk!
