We are racing to find antibiotics with AI, but what if we're ignoring the obvious?🤔 This paper proves basic science is still here. No AI, Just one gene deletion revealed an intermediate 10-100x more potent against MRSA than the final drug. https://t.co/oRPGi1RVmN

The methylenomycins are highly functionalized cyclopentanone antibiotics produced by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). A biosynthetic pathway to the methylenomycins has been proposed based on sequence...

Illuminating the microbiome's functional "dark matter."💡A huge gap in #systemsbiology is that most microbial proteins are uncharacterized. This new paper from @hutlab, introduce FUGAsseM, a multiomics method to predict protein function. Check it out!

How to design new synthetic microbial communities? It's a huge question we're still deeply exploring. Check out this new preprint by @clavellab! They developed an elegant, function-directed approach using metagenomic data to build better SynComs. https://t.co/u5C2yWBwPq

Understanding the complex interactions between microbes and their environment requires robust model systems such as synthetic communities (SynComs). We developed a functionally directed approach to...

We opened the final day of our #retreat with an inspiring talk by Dr. Yakov Merhishti. 📔 We concluded our mission of "seeing the invisible" by exploring microbial #fermentation from a new perspective: with a wine tasting! We toasted the tiny microbes that make it possible 🦠🍷

Day 1 of our 'Science meets Art' retreat was fantastic! We had an inspiring talk from prof. Noam Mizrahi and a great visit to the @israelmuseum. Afterward, we continued our project, creating new art pieces inspired by the invisible world of microbes. 🦠

a key question in microbial ecology: which community members are necessary and sufficient for survival where individual species cannot? 🤔 Misosoup, a new Python package, try addresses this problem. @sbonhoeffer @alberpasc & Nicolas Ochsner https://t.co/lV2UGDCnsv

Microbial survival and function often depend on metabolic interactions within communities. Therefore, a central question to disentangle microbial organization is what minimal groups of species are...

Final presentations in our Microbial Ecology: Theories & Contemporary Questions course 🎓🦠 Tomer chose to manifest ecological dynamics using visual props. I love it when people, especially students, color outside the lines.

#ISM2025 Was amazing! It was fun to connect with friends and exchange amazing scientific ideas. Our postdoc, @OmLavy , shared his research on the microbiome of "biblical poop." Our PhD student, @Sarah_lital, presented her poster on "Decoding Microbial Communities"

Overlooked & mislabeled 'parasites,' commensal protists are vital gut microbiome members! 🦠 Small in cell count, huge in biomass. They impact host immunity, gut ecology & disease. Check this great review by @GerrickElias & Michael Howitt! https://t.co/15ePTbKjHV

The gut microbiota critically influences many aspects of host biology, from nutrient acquisition to immunological function, and is integral to metazoan life. While most microbiome research has...
