Calling all phage enthusiasts! Interested in lysis-lysogeny switches? We've uncovered a fascinating mechanism where arbitrium phages exploit a tyrosine recombinase folding to repress the prophage induction, alongside a DNA mimicry strategy for prophage repression.
DNA recognition-mimicry switch governs induction in arbitrium phages:
· Antirepressor triggers prophage entry into lytic cycle
· Antirepressor inactivates master repressor by mimicking DNA target
· Antirepressor controlled by host SOS response

Yesterday, some of the amazing women from our lab gave talks at a high school to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🚀🔬 #WomenInSTEM#WomenInScience#11F@IBV_CSIC
Ayer, junto a mis compañeras de laboratorio, tuve el honor de impartir charlas sobre el Día de la Mujer y la Ciencia👩💻👩🔬. Volver a este instituto, donde me formé, fue una experiencia especial, un símbolo de crecimiento y evolución personal. #11F#WomenInScience#WomenInSTEM
Este jueves, nuestro compañero, Anmol Sunil Adhav de la Unidad de Cristalografía de Macromoléculas @UCM_Lab del @IBV_CSIC defenderá la tesis doctoral:
«Structural and functional characterisation of drug-histidine kinase complexes»

Dos intensos días de charlas muy interesantes sobre #Fagos#Fagoterapia#genómica#ecología
Muchas Gracias a todos los participantes!!
Nuestro compañero Alonso Felipe Ruiz @AlonsoFelipeRu de la @UCM_Lab del @IBV_CSIC en unos instantes comenzará la defensa de su tesis doctoral:
"MicroTwitter: bases moleculares de la comunicación
en el mundo microbiológico"
🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who made the Young Scientists’ Forum #YSF at @unipv unforgettable! We hope you had a fantastic time, created lasting memories, and built connections that will last a lifetime. Now it’s time to enjoy the 48th FEBS Congress in Milan! 🌟#youngFEBS
🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨
Join our team at IBV-CSIC in Valencia! We have openings for 2 Postdocs and 2 PhD students to work on exciting microbial communication projects.

In this paper, we redefine the roles of some key players in the arbitrium system and also identify new ones that link the arbitrium system with a host toxin-antitoxin mechanism.
I am thrilled to announce that the first publication of my PhD is out on @cellhostmicrobe! I am very grateful for the opportunity to work on this exciting project. Thanks to all the co-authors😊!!
Here, we characterise a unique repression system present in arbitrium phages of the SPbeta family.
Thanks to all the co-authors for their contributions!
