We are pleased to share our latest work uncovering that the disruptions of the linkages between bacterial outer membrane and peptidoglycan enhances the resistance to bile salts!

Very excited to have my colleague @hyq2015.bsky.social from James Cook University here at UQ-IMB to share his research on bacterial FA biosynthesis and cell envelope integrity. Many more great sciences are coming from his new lab.

Our following up work on O-antigen sensitising E. coli to bile salt found home at @mbiojournal and now online! We showed that disruptions in OM-peptidoglycan linkages confer bile salt resistance in OAg-producing bacteria journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Disruptions in outer membrane-peptidoglycan interactions enhance bile salt resistance in O-antigen-producing E. coli | mBio
Enteric bacteria residing in the human gut must withstand host-derived antimicrobial
bile salts, but resistance mechanisms are not fully elucidated. In this study, we
investigate bile salt resistance ...

Our student Xavier Bertran (who is not on X) worked out that in a closed culture system, the nitro oxide donor SNP, in addition to its role in dispersing PAO1 biofilms, promotes PAO1 biofilm and planktonic cell growth, potentially through donating its iron centre.
Nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside serves as a source of iron supporting Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and biofilm formation https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.12.642859v1
