Giant trochophore larva (1 mm) of a Polygordius sp. polychaete worm. Skagerrak, North Sea. You can see two red eyespots, a mouth and a beautiful ciliated band. #polygordius #trochophore #biology #marinebiology #zooplankton #microscopy

PhD student in biochemistry PhD call! Join us to assemble a mimetic biofilm matrix – an exciting topic to work on combined with life in one of the most attractive cities in EU jobrxiv.org/job/cic-biomag… #2D_materials #biochemistry #biofilms #biophysics... jobrxiv.org/job/cic-biomag…

@Tehmina2531 The application deadline is open until the 10th of June. Anyone interested with a background in biochemistry/microbiology are welcome to apply :)

We are hiring PhD students to work on synthetic bottom-up reconstitutions in bacterial cell biology, with the focus on peptidoglycan/cytoskeleton cross-talk and role of bacterial glycans in cell-cell communication. Interested? Don´t hesitate to DM me!

🔥Hot off the press⬇️⬇️⬇️ in @NatureMicrobiol nature.com/articles/s4156… Plectasin is a complex peptide 💊 #antibiotic, isolated from funghi. We show that plectasin uses a new Calcium-dependent supramolecular mechanism to ensnare its target on the membrane surface. 1/4 #NMR

🔴@nat_baranova has joined the @CICbiomaGUNE as an @Ikerbasque #ResearchFellow. She will carry out research on bottom-up reconstitution in bacterial cell biology and glycobiology. More info: ikerbasque.net/es/natalia-bar… Welcome to Ikerbasque! #biology #glycobiology

🚨🚨Job Post🚨🚨 Interested in bacterial cell biology 🦠 Does your idea of an afternoon in the lab well spent include a session at the microscope 🔬 Then this might be for you. We are hiring: PhDs (bit.ly/3vEC8uq) / Postdocs(bit.ly/3vErwMd) @DMF_UNIL

New study by @feyzanar, @HeisenbergCPLab, @mloose, @edouardhannezo, @jackmerrin, @ISTAustria, published in @CurrentBiology, sheds light on the remodeling process of cell-cell contacts in metazoan development.

Now recruiting: enthusiastic postdocs to use advanced imaging methods to dissect biological processes. My group at Harvard has 2 Wellcome-funded positions examining the underlying mechanisms and resultant forces driving bacterial growth, division, and antimicrobial resistance.

Very happy that I could be your bridge to @ISTAustria. Interacting with you as a parent before ISTA, and later working with you was great fun. Keep inspiring, Lukas

@AVettiger @DMF_UNIL Huge Congrats to both of you!! Would be great to stay in touch

❗️BIG NEWS❗️I will be joining the @DMF_UNIL as assistant professor in Feb 2024!!! In my lab we will continue to use different live-cell techniques 🔬to study cell envelope biogenesis in distinct diderm organisms🦠. (1/3)

(5/n) Next, we look into something more complicated... Glycosaminoglycans (a.k.a. #GAGs)! We are soooo excited to be able to locate the N-acetyls and the sulfates! 🥳 Can't wait to use STM imaging to sequence the sulfate codes of *real* GAGs! 🔥(my #HFSP project with @cphglyco)

Excited to release our latest work, led by @almcalvo along with Ned Wingreen: doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…! Here, we study how interactions with phages—viruses that infect bacteria—influence the spatial organization of a bacterial population. 🦠⚡️☠️ Tweetorial follows... [1/8]

We report the discovery & mechanism of #Clovibactin, an #antibiotic from unculturable bacteria! ⬇️⬇️ @CellCellPress ⬇️⬇️ 💊 doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… Clovibactin uses a 'hydrophobic cage' motif to target the cell wall and kill without detectable resistance @UniUtrecht 1/n

📣OUT NOW Bacterial cell division afficionados take note! Incredible depth of detail using cryo-EM 🔬to delineate the structure of the bacterial divisome core complex, and antibiotic target, FtsWIQBL. At 3.7 Å resolution. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Very happy to share our latest work by @feyzanar in collaboration with @nartimsoole @EdouardHannezo @jmerrin. We built a biomimetic system to study E-cadherin-mediated contacts and showed they are maintained by F-actin/E-cadherin flows. ⏮️⏪↔️⏩⏭️ tinyurl.com/actocadflows

(1/3) Welcome to The Forest of Biologists. We are excited to launch this new #biodiversity initiative from @Co_Biologists, aiming to counteract nature loss, and safeguard some of the most critically endangered #ecosystems for future generations.

One year ago, the world of science rallied to support our Ukrainian colleagues, and what we've achieved together since then is nothing short of amazing! This thread 🧵will showcase tweets capturing unwavering support for Ukraine's science. 🇺🇦🌍 Tag #ScienceForUkraine! 👇👇👇
