SPP2389 - Emergent Functions of Bacterial Multicellularity
@spp2389.bsky.social
From single cells to intricately constructed colonies - bacteria are multicellular wonders! An interdisciplinary research effort to unravel the intricate paths, regulation systems and structures behind the multifaceted forms of bacterial multicellularity
Bakteriopolis is in Halle at the #SilbersalzFestival this week! Even Come try water kefir, make your own bacterium, and learn about the hidden world of multicellular microbes! #SPP2389 #microsky #wisskomm

Danke an Mainzelmännchen Det für den Besuch! @zdfde.bsky.social

From polymicrobial water kefir grains to PCD in biofilms, microorganisms are magnificently multicellular!
Thanks to @embo.org @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social for having Lena Friebel and Thorsten Mascher @tudresden.bsky.social as well as @escolizzi.bsky.social at the

Our #SPP2389 associated PhD student Luis gave a great talk on the effects of experimental evolution on Streptomyces aggregates and colonies at the #ISBA2025 !

Only 2 more days until the ISBA! Genna's looking forward to 5 days of nothing but actinomycetes and the beautiful North Sea.
Tot snel!

Throwback Thursday to our international conference in January!
120 PhD students, PIs, and guest speakers met in Berlin to present their amazing research on multicellular bacteria (and some archaea!)
Congratulations to our poster prize winners Ruth Viveros, Miriam Epping, and Danielle Lange!

Hi everyone and welcome to our profile for the DFG-funded SPP 2389 on emergent functions of bacterial multicellularity!

A lot has happened recently and we're looking forward to sharing all things bacteria, biofilms, and beyond with all of you!

Genna & Matthias
