Our new paper titled Swarming bacteria exhibit developmental phase transitions to establish scattered colonies in new regions is out now in @ISMEJournal tweetorial to the preprint is below
Our new preprint on swarms of gliding Capnocytophaga - mysterious and understudied bacteria found abundantly in the human oral microbiota is live Using Image Velocimetry, we found that they undergo phase transitions to form scattered microcolonies (1/4)

Happy to share that our paper on how a conveyor belt associated protein influences the rotation of its driver is out now in @mbiojournal.
A conveyor belt-associated protein of T9SS-driven gliding bacteria acts as a molecular switch, reversing T9SS rotation to fine-tune movement - like a smart conveyor or biological snowmobile adapting to changing terrain. @ShrivastavaLab

Motile bacterial zorbs demonstrate one of the most fascinating collective migration strategies I have ever encountered. Our lab's postdoc, Jitendra Gosai @gosciee, gave an excellent talk on the sensory control of zorbs at the BLAST conference @BlastMeetings #blastmeeting2025

Our work on motility genes in the human oral microbiota is now published in @JournalSpectrum. This started as an undergraduate research project of the fantastic 1st author @SofiaTRocha and it motivated her to continue as a PhD student 😊.
