Lactate is an important substrate🍔for P. aeruginosa in infection sites. We show that PA’s “redundant” lactate dehydrogenases are used by different biofilm subpopulations and contribute to survival within macrophages🦠Great work by @Lindsey_Florek& collabs.doi.org/10.1128/mbio.00852-2…

🔬🦠 Read our latest review tinyurl.com/2y9ebsgl in @PLOSPathogens on bacterial condensates, their role in stress sensing and response, and potential for influencing host-pathogen interactions. Fun project with the @ChildersLab. Congrats to @moeka_sasazawa and @DylanTomares

Dear Twitter,
@maximohairwe made a really cool paper on how an instability (bifurcation) the fitness landscape of fungal hyphae leads to a strict constraint on their shapes!

Dear Twitter, Guy Mason (@Imnotyourguybud) made a very nice paper about how bacteria survive bacteriophage if you squish them!

🚨 Sunrise NYU just won divestment at New York University! This is a huge win for climate justice!
Congratulations to every student organizer who made this happen.

My first paper ever is live on biorxiv! We @TheRojasLab modeled all the shapes that are physically possible for a tip growing cell and compared those to what is observed in nature. Surprise! Not all possible shapes are occupied and a mechanical instability may govern this

New @bioRxiv preprint!
tinyurl.com/mr4yxsxb
@Ying_Xie_ found that polysome collapse & mRNA condensation fluidizes the cytoplasm.
This helps assembly of another membraneless stress organelle: Q-bodies!
P-bodies and SGs tune the physical properties of the cytoplasm!
RT plz!

Take a handful of bacterial genetics, a bit of biochemistry, and a twist of microscopy and you get the latest Bernhardt lab story led by @EFivenson on the shape determining role of the Gram-negative OM.
