Interesting study on Enterococcus faecalis c-di-AMP signalling - especially when exogenously added c-di-AMP rescues the growth defect of a cdaA mutant. Is c-di-AMP a 'first messenger' also? π€
Pleased to share our latest work on c-di-AMP with great collaborators @Es_Marcellin and @ZX_Liang

Debaryomyces hansenii is a VERY common yeast in aged cheeses and other fermented foods. It has generally been considered safe for humans (and potentially even "probiotic"), but this work suggests possible problems for those with Crohnβs disease science.sciencemag.org/conteβ¦
Please share while the PVL is in the making: a postdoctoral fellowship position is available in our lab starting July 1, 2021, to engineer Lactobacillus reuteri to selectively eradicate microbial pathogens. Send me an email [vanpijkeren a t w i s c dot edu] or DM if interested
The Woodward lab has several postdoctoral positions available, spanning topics in bacterial physiology, pathogenesis, and immunology. Come join our multidisciplinary and dynamic group at UW in Seattle! Email Josh if you are interested. Please RT.
I am happy to share my latest work on osmotic stress in S. aureus as a preprint: High-throughput transposon sequencing highlights the cell wall as an important barrier for osmotic stress in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/β¦
Long time brewin', but thrilled to see our work describing a human-microbiome metabolic symbiosis in exercise published in Nat Med today: go.nature.com/2LeBAC0. Extremely proud of my grad students Jacob Luber and Ted Chavkin, and the guy that started all of this Jon Scheiman.
