New preprint from the lab! @findunmun1.bsky.social @chemsley.bsky.social We looked at new protein synthesis and genetic fitness during starvation in P. aeruginosa. Resources are dynamically redistributed to support ongoing activity, even over days of total starvation: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Analyses of protein expression and genetic fitness determinants reveal dynamic pathways active in starved Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Heterotrophic bacteria rapidly deplete essential macronutrients during growth and must navigate subsequent periods of growth arrest imposed by starvation. Nutrient limitations can be dynamic in nature...

Polyphosphate: The “Dark Matter” of Bacterial Chromatin Structure
Polyphosphate condensates and their contributions to nucleoid structure. Polyphosphate condensates form in the ribosome-depleted nucleoid region of bacterial cells, particularly under stress (in this...

Excited to share our latest, "Biofilm dispersal patterns revealed using far-red fluorogenic probes." @plos.bsky.social We developed a cell-labeling strategy using far-red dyes to image dense microbial communities (where fluorescent proteins often do not work well) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
