During her research at the #mpitm, Sanika found that #V_cholerae forms biofilms directly after treated with #phages.

Nice work by Sanika Vaidya (and collegues)
done during our PhDs together at @maxplanckgesellschaft and @unibasel

Bacteria use exogenous peptidoglycan as a danger signal to trigger biofilm formation - Nature Microbiology

Peptidoglycan released by neighbouring kin or non-kin cell lysis induces physiological changes that protect from a range of stresses, including phage predation.

Hello Mastodon. Here is my first post; I am a doctoral student at #UniMarburg and #MPITM working with #cyanobacteria and artifical photosynthesis. Looking forward to some good discussions over here.
