Finally out!! Our manuscript on the arbitrium system and its relation with a host toxin-antitoxin system is published today in @NatureMicrobiol. Kudos to @GulerPolina and Shira Omer and all other authors, for this beautiful work! rdcu.be/du8T0 nature.com/articles/s4156…

How do dormant phages decide when to leave their host? They talk in their sleep! In a new preprint we show that prophages use the arbitrium system to communicate from lysogeny, and that this communication controls induction. @AvigdorEldar biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How far do bacterial signals propagate? Sometimes only to near neighbors. Follow our new work in @NatureComms, disq.us/t/3wavpyn. Micron range #QuorumSensing affecting #HorizontalGeneTransfer. Led by @TasneemBareia from my lab and @JordivanGestel from @MicSysEcoLab.

Why do bacteria use so many different languages to talk to each other? This is (roughly) the question we try to address in our new review paper. @AvigdorEldar Thread👇 annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…
