- Reposted by Leah McPhillipsDelighted to see the main work from my PhD finally published in @mbio.bsky.social! It all started with the observation that deleting the cutRS two-component system in S. venezuelae caused this amazing explorer phenotype in the presence of glucose. But what was going on?! (1/n)
- Reposted by Leah McPhillipsVery happy to see this remarkable work published. Led by @tommclean.bsky.social and @ainsley-beaton.bsky.social. We show how Streptomyces bacteria sense & respond to misfolded secreted proteins. A great collaboration with @barriewilks.bsky.social #microsky 1/2 journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10....
- 📄 Delighted to share that the preprint of my main PhD work is out now! 👏 A huge thank you to everyone involved, @tommclean.bsky.social, Govind Chandra, Ngat Tran (both not on BlueSky) and especially my PhD supervisor @tunglejic.bsky.social 👏 🧵 below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- 🧵 1/7 Plasmid partition systems segregate plasmid copies during cell division. There are several evolutionarily distinct partition system types and we understand (relatively) well the distribution of these types and how they function in unicellular bacteria, namely in enterobacteria such as E. coli.
