@prczhaoyansong.bsky.social’s deep dive into the dark matter of compost communities is now out 🎉 Genomic islands hijack jumbo phages—whose capsids enable transfer of large tracts of DNA—shedding new light on the scale & scope of phage-mediated gene flow 😎

Jumbo phage–mediated transduction of genomic islands | PNAS
Bacteria acquire new genes by horizontal gene transfer, typically mediated by mobile
genetic elements (MGEs). While plasmids, bacteriophages, and c...

No new genes needed to fly - just rewire what you have! 🦇🧬
Great new paper from the labs of @fany-real.bsky.social @stemundi.bsky.social @dariloops.bsky.social

Still on a science high after an incredible Microbial Population GRS/GRC. Honored to have been able to talk about my work. Grateful for all the amazing feedback, ideas, and inspiring conversations—especially from the brilliant scientists whose papers I’ve long admired. Can’t wait for the next one!
Looking forward to seeing everyone, new and old, at the Microbial Population Biology GRS + GRC in just a couple days!

Published in Nature today! Here, we sought to systematically ask how natural community's metabolism changes with the environment. A simple consumer-resource model can predict N-cycle metabolism (nitrate use) and, more importantly, the mechanism behind its change.

Glad to share our work with Dr. Jenna Gallie's group! The study reports on the mechanism of how the tRNA gene repertoire can become flexible within a population level, which was originally considered to be much more stable. Great job, @guyngan.bsky.social !

Large-scale duplication events underpin population-level flexibility in tRNA gene copy number in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25
Abstract. The complement of tRNA genes within a genome is typically considered to be a (relatively) stable characteristic of an organism. Here, we demonstrate t

This is an introductory post of myself.
I'm Sungbin Lim, from South Korea, doing PhD in Microbial Evolutionay Dymanics group with Dr. Jenna Gallie in MPI for Evolutionary Biology.
I'm interested in evolution of bacterial translation and programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF).
Nice to meet you!

🦠 Do microbiomes have their own microbiomes? 🦠
Well... kind of. Much smaller than bacteria, there is a whole zoo of Darwinian entities that depend on microbial hosts. We could call these collectives "nanobiomes", and there's much to explore!
