"Rescue of bacterial motility using two and three-species FliC chimeras"
In this pre-print out we studied the effect of flagellin (FliC) outer domain chimeras on bacterial motility. @UNSWScience @UNSWBABS

"Easy come, easier go: mapping the loss of flagellar motility across the tree of life" 🌱🔬
We analysed ~11,000 bacterial genomes to examine how flagellar motility has evolved 🏊♂️➡️🛑 @UNSWBABS @UNSWScience

Nice explainer of our recent @UNSWBABS work to cobble together hybrid motors for baxterial swimming.
Also great to chat to @newscientist!

By building nano-sized "Frankenstein motors", @UNSWBABS Scientia Associate Professor @phatmattbaker and Dr @PietroRidone have helped to piece together the evolutionary history behind the motors powering bacterial flagella.

Last week the Baker Lab (@UNSWBABS) made the drive down to Melbourne to attend the @bmh2024Melb. A week full of science, networking and entertainment! Thanks to all those who came to my poster to find out more about the bacterial flagellar filament and made the conference a joy!

In our defense we study swimming, not jumping.
Happy @UNSWBABS lab photo @bmh2024Melb - our first #squad conference all together since 2021!
