Proud of this new preprint from the lab!.
Bacterial cell wall, biofilm and morphology enthusiasts - our new preprint shows how E. coli manages to survive without its essential cell wall! Check it out 👇#microbiology #bacteria.@LeidenBiology.@ClaessenLAB.@HandeWinde.

Excited to see the latest paper out as a preprint on bacterial heterozygosity in a unique L-form system. Largely pulled together by the fantastic @she_toot.
Excited to present this work on bacterial polyploidy from my previous postdoc! .Want to know about a genetic diversity strategy that is like having backup codes to unlock the perfect resistance combo? Read all about it (1/4)
