Our paper describing the simplest and most efficient way to make Short Ff (f1, M13 or fd)‐#phage‐derived #nanorods is published in Microbial Biotechnology. Chiefly based on PhD thesis by @rayenleonq, images by @the_gold_lab …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We are thrilled to share our latest work published in Microbial Genomics @MicrobioSoc . The manuscript was led by @hannah_wykes and supervised by @MicroMassey at @NatSciMassey and @VuongAntiMicro (while moving around from Massey to @uniofexeHLS ). microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Scientists investigating the potential of combined and more powerful drug treatments have found that antimicrobial resistance to these is arising via the vitamin B2 synthesis pathway. the-microbiologist.com/news/scientist… @VuongAntiMicro @hannah_wykes @MicroMassey @MasseyUni @LSI_Exeter

Thank you @MacDiarmidInsti for giving opportunity to @NanophageT to tell its story and exhibit at the @TechweekNZ event in Palmerston North. Great to hear about exciting developments in cleantech and network with our deeptech colleagues. twitter.com/MacDiarmidInst…

@NanophageT-made nanorods feature in the amazing structure solved by @the_gold_lab and published in Nature Communications twitter.com/NatureComms/st…

Scientists from @the_gold_lab report the #CryoEM structure of f1 filamentous #phage & provide insights into the domains important in bacterial attack & release of new viral progeny. @conners_becky @rayenleonq @MicroMassey @LSIExeter @NatSciMassey nature.com/articles/s4146…

@the_gold_lab @conners_becky @rayenleonq @madphage Amazing work, @the_gold_lab, @conners_becky and of course @rayenleonq and @madphage from Massey and Nanophage Tech. Great to see the structure of the Ff (f1, fd & M13) "business" ends, after 30 years of obsessing about it! I can retire now😃

🚨 Our institute @CEITEC_Brno is looking for a #newPI in #virology and/or #bacteriology 🦠🔬🧪🧫🧬💊 Please, retweet and help us spread the word! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #PostDocLife

Excited about the structure of the Ff (f1, fd, M13) phage ends solved by Vicki Gold lab - using short nanorods produced and purified by @rayenleonq at @NanophageT @NatSciMassey twitter.com/the_gold_lab/s…

Congrats to Vuong Le who found that bacterial tolerance to antimicrobials can be increased without mutations in the coding sequences, via a large chromosomal inversion microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

In case you couldn’t see the Aurora Australis, here is your chance to view it from space.

Another spectacular view of an aurora australis or “southern lights” that our crew was able to enjoy last weekend.

📸 Watch the Aurora Australis dance around on our time lapse camera in Lauder, Central Otago! 😲 This is the result of electrons colliding with the upper reaches of Earth’s atmosphere 🌌

Amazing ! Nanopore technology to read proteins ! Multiple rereads of single proteins at single–amino acid resolution using nanopores. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#Transcriptomics study shows that #furazolidone, #vancomycin, & sodium deoxycholate achieve synergy vs. E. coli by amplifying each other's damaging effects while suppressing antibiotic resistance mechanisms. @MicroMassey @MasseyUni journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mS… @ASMicrobiology #mSphere

Check out our new paper in mSphere, deciphering the mechanism of furazolidone, vancomycin and DOC synergy in Escherichia coli. We show that suppression of SOS response by VAN increases lethality and decreases mutagenic effect of furazolidone. doi.org/10.1128/mSpher… @MasseyUni
