The image was taken using the Deltavision Elite microscope with widefield and phase contrast microscopy on a 10X objective, then altered using FIJI. Changes were made to the LUT, as well as brightness and contrast.

This image shows a biofilm formed by a curli deficient Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain, stained with Ebbabiolight 680 optotracer.

My PhD project is part of the @nrpdtp.bsky.social funded by @ukri.org

I gave a talk on how I used traDIS to investigate the important genes for plasmid acceptance in bacteria. I was also very grateful to be awarded runner up for best oral presentation alongside @gabastorga.bsky.social 🎉

Thank you! 😊❤️

We don't have any papers on conjugation inhibitors just yet as most of my work has been focused on identifying what we might be able to target. But perhaps once we have that information, then inhibitors that act on those targets could be explored. Hope that helps!

Hi Craig! Sorry for the last reply - only just been catching up with bluesky today. I really enjoyed your talk on Thursday!
