Cyanobacteria are never alone in Nature. Which bacteria do they interact with and how? We describe a stable cyanobacterial community reproducibly forming spatial structure and document metabolic interactions/processes within. Read here to learn more: academic.oup.com/ismej/advan…

Cells in a filamenteous Cyanobacteria - how do they glide together? Cells are coordinated - until not! Cells rotate during gliding, and when they de-coordinate, the filament twists and form plectonemes! @PolinMarco @chavaleriani @elocatelli86

Ammonia can readily be leaked from cells and create a metabolic interaction among microorganisms. Read more here:

#beautifullyWrittenNotSoGoodPapers - you know how to spot them. Can we all (scientists) stop producing them - and editors promoting them - please.

How do microbial interactions emerge?
In the following, we show that ammonia leakage can underpin a nitrogen-sharing interaction among soil bacteria and fungi.
To be tested: Leakage-based N-acquisition could form the basis of loss of nitrate utilisation

How do cells on a filament coordinate their gliding motility to achieve back-and-forth movement? Our ongoing efforts in collaboration with @PolinMarco, @chavaleriani and @elocatelli86

ThT - a dye used for analysing protein aggregation, can also act as an indicator of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). It needs to be used at low concentration though. At high concentration and with high light exposure, it collapses MMP:

Can single cell respiration rate be measured? We think that it is theoretically possible but very hard in practice. If you are intrigued, please read our work with @Gabrielnegrao_ and @Patrick_Unwin using electrochemical probes on bioxriv just out now:

A big congrats to our Emily Skates (happiest one in the middle) for her viva success!!
Dr. Skates is off to the west coast and looking for postdocs if you are in need of an excellent scientist!
Thanks goes to co-supervisor @Munelectro as well as her viva examiners.

What controls metabolic fluxes? Our latest work highlights the relevance of co-substrate cycles as a distinct alternative to enzyme levels: elifesciences.org/articles/8…

Spatial organisation in microbial communities. Two recent review/opinion pieces from @osslab and @MicSysEcoLab that might be of interest:

Last few days to apply folks!
Formation dynamics and microbial symbioses in cyanobacteria granules - if that summary makes you curious and if you are looking for a postdoc get in touch to join our @MooreFound project, -@Cyanotrans . jobs.ac.uk/job/CTX347/resear…
