Some weekend reading…great to see GROND, our new database for long-read amplicon sequencing of the ribosomal operon, is out. Congrats ⁦@calumari_walsh⁩ ⁦@meghana_srini⁩ ⁦@VanSinderenLab⁩ ⁦@pauldcotter⁩ ⁦@tstinear⁩ ⁦⁦ microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

🥳We are happy to receive our first CiteScore! As a growing journal, we will continue to strive to improve the quality and influence of the journal. We also appreciate the continuous support of our editorial team, authors, reviewers, and readers in the journal's development! 😊

Planning long-read amplicon sequencing for better species resolution? Check out GROND, our new database of ribosomal operons, out in @MicrobioSoc. Thanks to @calumari_walsh @jgskenny @VanSinderenLab @pauldcotter @tstinear go.shr.lc/4caUAum

Thrilled to see our latest paper led by Sai (@Metagymomics) published in #mGen @MicrobioSoc with Tara McGuire, Elaine Lawton, @ProfFMcAuliffe, @VanSinderenLab, @calumari_walsh, & @pauldcotter doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0… (1/n)

Nice to see the two remaining extracellular α-arabinofuranosidases from B. longum subsp. longum characterized by @VanSinderenLab. Also the transcriptomic data support our previous prediction that AraFGH is the arabinose transporter in B. longum tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Happy International Women's Day from APC's Van Sinderen & Mahony Group at @UCC @scienceirel @uccresearch @JenniferMahony7 @VanSinderenLab #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion

Fascinating insights to phage diversity in dairy industry whey, by Kelsey White, in our School Seminar Series. @UccMicrobiology @UCCResearch @SEFSUCC @JenniferMahony7 @VanSinderenLab

Delighted to share our paper describing the transcriptional control of lactococcal conjugation systems. Congratulations Guillermo Ortiz Charneco!! @VanSinderenLab @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38371911/

Delighted to share our latest paper with Christian Cambillau, Adeline Goulet and @VanSinderenLab If you're interested in applying Alphafold to predict phage structures, this is for you! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38140681/

Big congratulations to @LiamHWalsh1 on the successful defence of his PhD thesis focusing on all things #kefir related this morning. Big thanks to examiners @DPorcellato and @VanSinderenLab, chair @hennessydeirdre & co-supervisor Paul O’Toole. @teagasc @MASTER_IA_H2020 @Kefir4All

Very nice new review from Cathy Lordan & Aoife Roche with Dianne Delsing, Arjen Nauta, Andre Groeneveld @johnmacsharry and led by @VanSinderenLab in #MMBR @ASMicrobiology “Linking human milk oligosaccharide metabolism and early life gut microbiota: bifidobacteria and beyond” 1/2

𝑺𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑵 UCC School of Microbiology affiliated researchers named in the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers (top 1%) list for 2023. A true School of Excellence. A special mention here for the co-authors of those papers who do the hard graft. @UCC @SEFSUCC @UccMicrobiology

14 UCC researchers make list of world's most influential researchers They are recognised for their significant contributions to helping make our world healthier, more sustainable and more secure. ucc.ie/en/news/2023/u… #HighlyCited2023 @clarivate

I'm so excited to be doing a live cooking demo with microbiome friendly meals and diving into everything health & wellbeing with @pauldcotter & @E_MSchneider of @Pharmabiotic @scienceirel See you in Cork next Wednesday November 15th, get your tickets now! bit.ly/3u2mVTe

Happy Friday! Delighted to share my first first-author paper reviewing cell wall polysaccharides of streptococci published in a special issue of biotechnology advances. Massive thanks to @JenniferMahony7 and @VanSinderenLab for all the help getting here authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S07…

Disappointing that PhD stipends did not see an increase in #Budget2024 Researchers are the life blood of every university and research institute and should be supported.

Well done @hibashareefdeen for giving a fantastic talk at todays School of Microbiology Seminar Series PhD Speaker Event!✨It was great to hear about all the creative ways to isolate phages🕵️‍♀️ and the influence of phages on bacterial community structure in the gut!

Well done to Koen Giesbers, Jack Fagan and @ElvinaCao from @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic @VanSinderenLab and many thanks to our wonderful collaborators in the teams of Marie-Pierre Chapot-Chartier @INRAE and Marco Ventura at Genprobio for their excellent insights as always!

Delighted to share our latest paper describing how lactococci temporarily tune down the production of cell wall polysaccharides to evade phage infection. Reduced synthesis of phospho-polysaccharide in Lactococcus as a strategy to evade phage infection. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37774633/
