Thrilled to share that I'm starting my own lab at UC Irvine in April 2025 and am recruiting at all levels - please spread the word! My lab will study how microbes interact and evolve in complex communities like the human gut microbiome. kxuelab.com/ 1/2

Excited to announce that I'll be returning to @UF as an Assistant Professor in Microbial Ecology @UF_MCS starting January 2025! My lab at @UFIFAS_FLREC will study how biogeochemical transformations mediated by plant-microbe interactions impact ecosystem function. Stay tuned!

Hi folks, I’m excited to share a whale of a tale (sorry, bad pun), where we engineer snowflake yeast to express sperm whale myoglobin, and explore how oxygen-binding proteins may have helped overcome anatomical limitations to early multicellularity.

How does exposure to different hosts affect evolution of bacterial genes on mobile elements? In @MolBioEvol, @livkosterlitz et al use barcode methods to compare adaptive landscapes across species & show alignment enables a form of adaptive “crowdsourcing”🧵academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

Cuboidal cell packing is a common yet understudied route to multicellularity. In work led by @PineauRozenn and @ozan_g_b, we explore its origin as a multicellular geometry capable of supporting a transition in individuality using fission yeast. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

An exciting new PhD project is available in my group to work on synergistic coevolution.
The project will analyse an experiment in which a cooperative interaction evolved between two bacterial strains.
Deadline: October 13, 2023

🔴 New preprint 🔴 This one is the first with someone from my lab as an author! We used previously identified metabolic rules to predict microbial community assembly along a temperature gradient (1/12). biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Another beautiful movie by the @Tomocubeinc HT-X1. This is the ancestor of the MuLTEE (ace2 delta) yeast.
You can see packing-driven group reproduction here. Going back now for higher temporal resolution, with fluorescent probes! @TanFad @MBLScience

We have a new preprint, showing that living systems can entangle in ways non-living systems can’t. In non-living systems, entanglement only occurs under specific geometric regimes. Not so for growing systems! Given time, most geometries can entangle.

Ever wondered about estimating & reporting plasmid conjugation rates? We did too! Excited to share our new paper in Plasmid, where we propose guidelines for estimating & reporting these experiments. authors.elsevier.com/c/1h3ZU… Thread👇

I wrote about an incredible experiment in which microscopic, single-celled yeast evolved to become multicellular organisms visible to the naked eye, recreating one of evolution’s most pivotal transitions in a lab, in just one year.

Curious about multicellular life cycle evolution? Check out the summary of our latest study in cyanobacteria tinyurl.com/37r68faw with @ab_in_ & a yeast study tinyurl.com/5n6c2kf5 by @Ju_Brr & @EvolvingMurray! Big thanks @wc_ratcliff & @peterlconlin for the great dispatch!

@CurrentBiology just published two cool papers on the role of life cycles in the evolution of multicellularity. One by @EvolvingMurray and Julien Barrere, and the other by @Hammerschmidt_K et al.
@peterlconlin and I discuss them in this Insight article:

I’m delighted that our paper on the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) has, at long last, been published. This paper establishes the foundations of what I’d like to work on for the rest of my career. 1/25

Rapid recombination is an important driver of HIV intra-host evolution. Because recombination requires that multiple viruses co-infect a cell, Elena Romero and I wondered if high viral loads increase HIV's recombination rate.
tl;dr: we think they do!
