Thrilled to share the final version of our work describing how FimV, FlhF and FleN control the polar flagellation pattern in Pseudomonas putida 🦠 With the support of @CavaLab_MIMS and @EMBO @CienciaGob @pablodeolavide funding. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@smani_lab @LifeSwitchCABD @CABD_UPO_CSIC @aroalopsan @Parazelso Thanks, Younes!

@LifeSwitchCABD @CABD_UPO_CSIC @marpulsan @aroalopsan @Parazelso Congratulations Marta el al.

Enjoy our new manuscript "HsbA represses stationary phase biofilm formation in Pseudomonas putida" at bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) @CABD_UPO_CSIC @marpulsan @aroalopsan @Parazelso

...immediately find favourable conditions again and need to quickly take the decision of remaining as a community instead of continuing dispersal. We wonder if that's what happens during biofilm maturation, when inner cells from colonies redistribute to form 3D macrostructures!

This is up to debate and we will keep digging into this exciting story, but we immediately though about a particular stage during biofilm development in which P. putida cells are starving and need to escape the biofilm, but...

🚨🦠 Preprint alert, for biofilm lovers to enjoy! In this work, we propose that the stringent response not only promotes biofilm dispersal in Pseudomonas putida, but also prevents biofilm formation while priming the cells to quickly develop biofilms again. How and.. why? 👇

We are now in the phase of the climate crisis where hurricanes are making meteorologists weep on live TV 💔 x.com/ChrisHushNBC/s…

Unlike me, P. putida is able to make wise decisions under stress. Couldn't be happier to share and discuss the last story of my thesis in the best environmental conditions (25°C in beautiful Copenhagen at #Pseudomonas2024). Huge congrats and many thanks to the organizers!

We have a PhD student position available dealing with the generation of synthetic enzymatic organelles in cyanobacteria. Come join a #newPI at @IBVF_Sevilla @investigaUS

Diving into bioinformatics on your own? That's awesome! 🎉 BUT... beware of what I call the "Bioinformatics Trap" #Bioinformatics #DataScience ⚠️⚠️ A thread 🧵👇

@BalbontinLab Dangerous idea 😂 I might also end up including other concepts like the "croqueta-style" motility, or worse... the "stabber flagellum".

@marpulsan Go for it! Or make up a term that sounds more scientific, such as "croissiform"

This chapter of my thesis would last two pages if I could simply describe my mutant cells as "croissant-shaped".

@inmunoglomolina Comisión de posgrado disagrees.

@marpulsan You can

Inspiring essay by Roberto Kolter. This should be taught before university: knowing how to ask the right questions, the ones we're interested in, not just those for a 'good' paper. This makes a good researcher, IMO. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…

And by charming, I mean these moments with nature, sobaos and friends 🥰

Feeling refreshed (and not only for the weather!) after a super nice #MicroMolecular2024 meeting in the charming city of Santander 🦠 New and old friends, outstanding science... proud to belong to such a great community of microbiologists @MicroMolSEM 🥹
