Glad to see this out. Introducing "swashing," a flagella-independent form of bacterial surface migration.

A mind-blowing presentation by Eric Dudebout from @WadhwaLab at @ASU, unraveling SWASHING MOTILITY, a propulsion-independent mechanism for bacterial surface migration. WadhwaLab.com @DNAmanipulation @UUtah biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #blastmeeting2025 #motility

@GeiselBiofilm @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology That's a beautiful cover!

The newest issue of JB is out! Two minireviews as part of our History of Microbial Models series, microbial transport systems, Vibrio restriction systems, drug resistance, regulation, translation and more. journals.asm.org/toc/jb/206/9 @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology

@BhamlaLab Congratulations, Saad! Great news.

Somewhat delayed, but thanks to the feedback from many folks, including @EvolvedBiofilm, @AnuKhareLab, and others, we revised our recent bioRxiv pre-print. Most importantly, we re-christened this bacterial motility mechanism to 'Swashing Motility.' 🧵-> x.com/WadhwaLab/stat…

@EvolvedBiofilm Thanks also to @AnuKhareLab for helpful discussions!

@EvolvedBiofilm Thanks! We had several discussions about this and will be updating the preprint shortly.

@ryanlouie @BlueJello40 Thanks a lot! Small world.

Fascinating new work ,@WadhwaLab! It's been a long while since I was at the lab bench, but I still remember doing undergrad research with Dan Koshland on the aspartate receptor and bacterial chemotaxis. And a hello to the awesome @BlueJello40 who was a postdoc then. 🧬🧫🧪🦠🔬

@Shankar_Lab Thanks, Suraj! Let's catch up sometime...

🎉 It’s the 2-year anniversary of the Wadhwa lab! Perfect time to share our lab’s first preprint. Read on for a surprising new discovery about bacterial motility. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

@MariangeBravo Thanks, María! Hope you are doing great.

Finally, we’d love to hear your feedback! Feel free to DM or email me with any thoughts, especially critiques of the manuscript. 9/9

This work is a close collaboration with David Blair’s group at @UUtah. Big kudos to Dave’s former grad student @DNAmanipulation and our own star undergrad-turned-master’s student, Eric Dudebout, for leading these efforts beautifully. 8/
