Scientist🔬🦠 doodler✍🏻, investigating microbial interactions, evolution and behavior at different spatial scales through microscopy! Postdoc @ZellerGroup EMBL
Heidelberg, Germany
Joined October 2013
Excited to share our paper published in @CurrentBiology that explores the consequences of having multiple genomes in a bacterial model system and it’s benefits in a multidrug environment .

We used cell wall-deficient L-forms to understand if multiple chromosome copies in a cell provide any advantage. Could bacterial heterozygosity provide a similar adaptive benefit as multicopy plasmids, increasing the evolutionary success of these microbial survivors? (3/4)

Polyploidy is not often associated with bacteria but quite a few species seem to harbour more than a single copy of their genome. This makes you wonder how the presence of multiple copies of the chromosome affect bacterial physiology… we did too! (2/4).

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)

So so happy to see @KapteijnRenee proudly holding her thesis 🥰. She is a meticulous and creative scientist with an eye for detail. I had an amazing time working with her in Leiden. Moreover she is a gem of a person, brings people together & very thoughtful as well! Hire her 🫶🏼.
Yeahhh my PhD thesis is finally here!!😁On to the next chapter: I am looking for a microbiology Post-Doc or research position in industry in The Netherlands! Please message me for more information or if you know an interesting job position! Sharing is appreciated! #OpenToWork

Great story and neatly explained thread 👌🏼 . Congratulations to everyone involved!.
1/n 📢 Preprint alert 📢.This one is all about how Myxococcus xanthus, a predatory bacterium, can influence the frequency of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in soil communities.

Chains that we use can be gold or pearls but bacteria make their own, in this case the Formosa sp. makes chains of vesicles! They first make tubes that pearl into connected vesicles. These vesicles have proteins and enzymes on the surface which help them grow.#inktober2023day21

It’s the bacterial SPICE girls! They are famous for deception- they appear to be sensitive to many antibiotics but can quickly develop resistance once exposed to the antibiotics! If you want their future (resistant) you better forget their past (sensitive) 😂 #inktober2023day12
