Did you know microbes need vitamins? And they can be picky about which one. Learn more about vitamin B12 and related molecules and how they affect microbes in our review:

My first, first author paper is out in @ISMEJournal ! Over the past few years in the @UCBTagaLab we have been learning about how soil bacteria share corrinoids, largely thanks to funding from @DOEScience. Here, we got some answers by studying isolates.🧵 https://t.co/W6wPbgx1rZ

Forgot to use #ASMicrobe but come talk to us about soil microbial communities, evolution, and nutrient exchange! 🦠
We have two fantastic postdocs @jananiharan and @ZHallberg at @ASMicrobiology presenting talks and posters!

Fresh off the virtual press – new work from @Tagalab with @Zhallberg! A little behind the scenes on the findings and makings of this project:
Vitamin B12 variants structure soil microbial communities despite soil's vast reservoir of B12. https://t.co/zjTt55p4lF

Everyone say congrats to @BeckyProcknow on her new paper!!! (special shoutouts to Kris Kennedy and undergrads Lesley and Max!) Read up on corrinoid riboswitches here: https://t.co/yigSHko3Nn

In addition to proteins, microbes can use structured RNAs such as riboswitches for the important task of regulating gene expression. Riboswitches control gene expression by changing their structure...

The Taga lab is looking for an undergrad! Project focuses on the role of nutrients in shaping bacterial communities Would be fantastic if yall could help us spread the word or bump the application to anyone who might be interested 🧫🧪🔬🦠💖
