Multiple small, curved, predatory bacteria (Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus) lyse the bacterial prey remnants below. How are they doing this & which predator proteins are involved in this process?

Published now @asm.org mSystems! After experimental evolution, we used a multiomics approach to explore how the pathogen 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 adapts to 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 secreted metabolites and examined the impact on antibiotic resistance.

Very happy to share our new preprint! We used proteomics and targeted metabolomics to study how 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 copes with inhibitory compounds secreted by 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢.
Big thanks to the @fgcz-en.bsky.social for this great collaboration!

Strain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactions
Abstract. Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditio
