This project wouldn't been possible without Peter Doubleday and @nzamboni.bsky.social at @imsb-eth.bsky.social. Peter conducted >10,000 mass spec analyses 🤯. So grateful for this opportunity to team up with the best of the best in metabolomics 😍

Do you think transporters in E. coli contribute to metabolite release? No? Explore the effect of 66 different transporter knockout mutations on the exometabolome dynamics of ~300 metabolites yourself: keio.unil.ch

Teaser: Increased proline in ΔputP

Intra-species crossfeeding in K. pneumonia supports growth of co-cultivated partners. I think such commensal interactions are very common

A metabolic atlas of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex reveals lineage-specific metabolism and capacity for intra-species co-operation
Why are there so many co-circulating Klebsiella pneumoniae clones? Using genomics and large-scale metabolic modelling of >7000 isolates, this study identifies structured, clone-specific metabolic spec...

New preprint from our lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...! Andrea Dos Santos and Clément Vulin combine experiments and models showing how adding glucose can strengthen negative interactions between microbial species. This can be used in tandem with antibiotic treatment to inhibit pathogens!

After two rounds of "peer review" at Scientific reports 😵‍💫
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Great to see the increased use of genome-scale models in microbial ecology. Here is another recent example: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

But why is no one questioning the often implicit assumption that growth-optimization at the community level is the driving force of cross-feeding?
Substrate utilization and cross-feeding synergistically determine microbiome resistance to pathogen invasion - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Combining genome-scale metabolic modelling with in vitro and in planta experiments, the authors show that cross-feeding metabolites and substrate utilization synergistically determine microbial commun...
