George O'Toole @geiselbiofilm.bsky.social New in JB: Fung, Visick et al. show that a single SNP can impact biofilm formation and colonization of its squid host by V. fischeri.
journals.asm.org
Biofilms promote the attachment of bacteria to each other and to surfaces. For Vibrio fischeri, biofilm formation dependent on the symbiosis polysaccharide (syp) locus promotes colonization of its...

George O'Toole @geiselbiofilm.bsky.social New in JB: Antonia Herrero reviews the distinct aspects of cell division for Anabaena, a multicellular cyanobacterium https://t.co/r1H0NnMPxy
journals.asm.org
Cyanobacteria are oxygenic phototrophs that make an important contribution to the global primary productivity in the biosphere (1). Indeed, they are the organisms in which oxygenic photosynthesis,...

Rubisco is (arguably) the most abundant protein on Earth. (LPP surely comes close, right?) It’s an enzyme that fixes CO₂ into sugars during photosynthesis. Unfortunately, as most people learn in school, Rubisco is inefficient. Sometimes it confuses O₂ for CO₂ and wastes

https://t.co/Yq7Bp2ppUy The PDZ domain of EpsC is required for extracellular secretion of VesB by the Type II secretion system in Vibrio cholerae
journals.asm.org
The T2SS is common in Gram-negative pathogens, facilitating the secretion of various toxins and enzymes; however, the mechanisms of substrate selection and secretion remain poorly understood. Here,...
