We used droplet sequencing to dive into bacterial extracellular vesicles and found they’re packed with HGT genes.

DYK most P. aeruginosa carry filamentous phage(s) that don't need to kill the cell to reproduce?
We 👉🏻@nanamikubota.bsky.social show that these Pf phages can go ROGUE.

Diversification of single-cell growth dynamics under starvation influences subsequent reproduction in a clonal bacterial population
Abstract. Most of the microbes in nature infrequently receive nutrients and are thus in slow- or non-growing states. How quickly they can resume their grow
