This paper represents a great effort by @roman-bushuiev.bsky.social and his brother @anton-bushuiev.bsky.social. The DreaMS foundation model for mass spectra of small molecules now opens lots of avenues for possible downstream applications. It might be a game changer for computational metabolomics.

We are pretty stoked that our paper on chemical shifts in kelp forests in the Gulf of Maine made it onto the front cover of ‪@science.org
Big congratulations to Shane Farrell and everybody involved! ✌️✌️✌️
Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests.

Biology is so cool

- P. syringae produces syringafactin, which is deacylated by amoebae

- Deacylated syringafactin binds to CraR, triggering amoebicidal pyrofactin synthesis

- Cra allows P. syringae to infect Arabidopsis thaliana in the presence of amoebae

A chemical radar allows bacteria to detect and kill predators
Pseudomonas syringae can detect and kill microbial predators via a chemical radar (Cra), which also allows the bacterium to infect plants despite predation pressure.

New preprint from our collaboration with @aliciaperezlorente.bsky.social from Diego Romero's group, who spend some time with us at @cmfi.bsky.social. It's great to see all the puzzle pieces coming together, providing a detailed snapshot of the molecular interplay between Bacillus and and Botrytis.

Excited to share our latest preprint! A fascinating story of chemical dialogue and microbial warfare: the Bacillus extracellular matrix acts as a key driver in the antagonistic interaction with Botrytis, while the fungus mounts a multi-layered defense.
