“Curiosity-driven, basic science has yielded a deeper understanding of how life forms develop and function in their environment and has had wide implications for health and our planet. Investing in this is vital for scientific progress and is worth protecting in a democracy.” —Ruth Lehmann

New biosurfactant alert! We report that some Burkholderia species can produce methylated rhamnolipids, which are thus nonionic. Lack of charge of these methyl esters might have major implications for their biological functions, and future applications www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The journal Microbiology, published by the Microbiology Society, is looking to appoint two new Senior Editors to help shape panels in regulation, sensing & signalling and eukaryotic microbiology. Join us in advancing microbiological research. Express your interest: microb.io/3sUvKyh

I'm thrilled to share our latest paper out in the Journal of Bacteriology! We asked the question: Which evolutionary pressures tune sensitivity in cell signaling?

Excited to share this manuscript by @hsiehyp.bsky.social, describing how Candida albicans sequesters magnesium from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reducing bacterial fitness. But this competition has the effect of conferring colistin resistance on P. aeruginosa! /1

Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections
by Roberto
A quarter of the world's population – that's two billion people – is estimated to be latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This staggering number is often presented in scientific pub...

Tracking down why what’s supposed to be the same bacterial growth medium can give such different results: an unexpected impurity!

Starting now-ish in the IDWeek poster hall!
