It's out!! Great review on Terrabacteria led by @BasileBeaud and Najwa Taib with @ChrisBel70. So much to discover on envelope biogenesis and the diderm-to-monoderm transition in this understudied clade! @NatureRevMicro @institutpasteur @Fondation_BS Readπrdcu.be/dSegH

Happy to share a chapter of my PhD thesisπ£! We review the diversity of the cell envelope in Terrabacteria which tell us a lot about outer membrane biogenesis and the diderm-to-monoderm transition. Thanks to my co-authors Najwa Taib @ChrisBel70 @SGribaldo

This is a very important paper suggesting that the Last Universal Common Ancestor of all living species lived 4.2 billion years ago. With Earth being only 4.5 billion years old, this suggests that life originated very soon after conditions were favorable.

π¨Super excited to share our pre-print describing how we used genomics to discover a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides from Actinobacteria π¦
This marks a significant expansion in the number of bacterial natural products involved in chemical defense.
