Our paper is out on PNAS! Read to learn about the dynamic 3D world inside live bacterial cells.
Macromolecular interactions and geometrical confinement determine the 3D diffusion of ribosome-sized particles in live Escherichia coli cells | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us!

🚨Vanderbilt is hiring🚨 Join an incredible community of motivated, creative, supportive scientists (in a super fun city in a beautiful state)!
We’re especially looking for peeps interested in virology/antiviral immunity/nucleic acid sensing.

It has been a joy to be a part of this international and local collaboration! Read the story at @PNASNews or the thread below. Stayed tuned for more discoveries from @sb_worthan and @megbehri. As microbes find new and clever ways to thrive, we’ll keep asking them how they do it.
🚨This week in @PNASNews 🚨
Our new paper led by @sb_worthan examining a pH sensitive substitution in the Rho transcription terminator that evolved experimentally in the lab and then found in natural populations!

New Research Alert! Cyanobacteria, tiny but mighty, can anticipate the seasons by sensing changes in day length! @M_louisae with the great publication in @ScienceMagazine#evolution
ALT A cartoon of an anthropomorphized cyanobacterium with smooth green skin, lying on a pink beach lounge chair under a bright sun. The cyanobacterium has large, happy eyes and a wide smile, looking relaxed as it leans back with one arm behind its head. In a thought bubble above its head, there's an image of a cloud with snowflakes falling from it, indicating it is thinking about winter weather. In the background, there are snowy trees and a clear blue sky, blending both summer and winter elements.
ALT A high-contrast fluorescence microscopy image showing several rod-shaped bacteria glowing green against a dark background. The bacteria are scattered across the field, some appearing in small clusters. A scale bar is visible at the bottom right corner.
ALT A young scientist with medium-length dark hair sits in a laboratory surrounded by stacks of clear petri dishes on a wooden table. She is wearing a black and white striped long-sleeve shirt and black dress, and she is smiling while looking at the camera. The background includes various lab equipment and supplies.
ALT A satellite image showing a large, swirling green bloom in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. The water has varying shades of green, indicating algal growth, surrounded by a landscape of green vegetation, patches of brown land, and some clouds. The scene captures a dynamic, circular movement in the lake's waters.

What does diffusion look like in the crowded bacterial cytoplasm? Is it as weird as people say? Check out our new preprint on 3D tracking of GEMs in live E. coli from @dsvalverdem and @AlpSunol! A fantastic experiment-theory collaboration with @TheZiaLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Preprint Alert! 🚨🚨🚨
Exciting collaboration between my group, @MarcBoudvillain’s group and @bpbratton!
From populations experimentally evolved to extreme feast/famine cycles, we find pH-sensing rho alleles that confer pH-dependent plasticity in transcription termination!
I am looking for two PhD students interested in experimental biological physics. We are working on a wide range of interesting problems at the interface of physics and biology. Please help spread the message. Thank you!
What's better for Halloween than a vampire story! We're excited to showcase for the first time, the life cycle of an extracellular #predator that drains the contents out of its prey through the S-layer ! RT and feedback are appreciated! (1/5)
