1/🚨 New preprint alert! Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?

We are excited to share our new story with you! We show how losing a binding domain can flip an antimicrobial effector into a host immune suppressor, highlighting functional specialization across the saprotrophy–symbiosis spectrum. Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am incredibly proud to share with you all my latest preprint on the structure of the NifL-NifA complex in Azotobacter vinelandii: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

New! An ancient plant symbiotic fungus with distinct features identified through advanced fluorescence & Raman imaging @CStrulluDerrien,R.Wightman,L.P.McDonnell,G.Evans,F.Fercoq,@PaulKenrick2& A. Ferrari @slcuplants @NHM_London @Le_Museum @GrapheneUCam doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Thrilled to share our latest article on the discovery of DIX domain-containing proteins in filamentous plant pathogens. See the whole story at journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

No joke! Pseudomonas viridiflava naturally infects wild Marchantia. Now published in @CurrentBiology. Led by Kayla Robinson with @LuciaBuric, Kris Grenz, @Khongsam_Chia from our group @JohnInnesCentre, and @michhulin & @wenboEffector from @TheSainsburyLab -sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
