New paper! We’ve found that Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron deploys extracellular vesicles to scavenge and deliver vitamin B12, driven by a newly identified high-affinity binding protein, BtuJ. The system functions analogously to microbial siderophores.

Extracellular vesicle-linked vitamin B12 acquisition via novel binding proteins in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and related cobamides are essential cofactors for many gut bacteria, yet their acquisition requires complex uptake systems due to limited availability. In the human gut commens...

Excited for our new paper!
We developed a sensitive NanoLuc system to track bacterial extracellular vesicles in vivo—and found that gut-microbe derived vesicles can reach multiple organs, including the brain - delivering ACTIVE protein components.

Special delivery - extracellular vesicles released by commensal gut bacteria deliver bioactive protein to distal organs
Aim: This study aims to investigate how the gut microbiota communicates with the host via bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), given that direct contact between microbes and the healthy intestinal...
