Have you ever wondered what is the best way to sample a biofilm?
Here we take real cm-scale biofilm sequencing data to show the impact of sampling strategies.
Better check this out before your next sampling campaign!

Be sure to give a read to Alessio's latest work! Cool combination of cultivation, bioinformatics and LC-MS to understand Legionella antagonism 🦠
Check our last manuscript now up on biorXiv! We analyzed the inhibitory capabilities of isolated aquatic bacteria towards different Legionella spp. and discovered variable outcomes, while reinforcing the role of biosurfactants (we specifically detected viscosin) as anti-Legionella compounds.
Variable inhibition of different Legionella species by antagonistic bacteria
The genus Legionella includes opportunistic pathogens inhabiting engineered aquatic ecosystems, where managing their presence and abundance is crucial for public health. In these environments, Legione...

I just made a first release of TNA - new tool to compare 2 bacterial genomes. Is shamelessly inspired by ACT, but should be simpler to use. Drag-n-drop two genomes: it runs BLAST for you and then you can visualize. For Mac, Windows 11, Linux tna.readthedocs.io
