Always a thrill to remember that the reason I love this job is nurturing the spark of curiosity in the next generation. The Prosthecate Lab had three posters at the Celebration of Student Scholars at the University of Scranton #PUIproud #UScranton #AlphasRule

Breakdown of clonal cooperative architecture in multispecies #biofilms and the spatial #ecology of #predation https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2212650120
When growing in mixed colonies, some harmful bacteria may be able to withstand attacks from the bacteria and #viruses that target them by finding protection inside groups of rival species.

so, Listeria and Enterococcus (Bacillota) join the club of L-formers that avoid phage predation like Kitasatospora (Actinobacteria) 🤩

Competence remodels the pneumococcal cell wall exposing key surface virulence factors that mediate increased host adherence
Competence development in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae controls several features such as genetic transformation, biofilm formation and virulence. This study shows that competence activation is crucial for optimal host adherence, via a mechanism dependent on the fratricin CbpD, which exposes virulence factors to the cell surface.

Teasing apart the evolution of lipoprotein trafficking in gram-negative bacteria reveals a bifunctional LolA - PubMed
The outer membrane (OM) is the defining feature of gram-negative bacteria and is an essential organelle. Accordingly, OM assembly pathways and their essential protein components are conserved throughout all gram-negative species. Lipoprotein trafficking lies at the heart of OM assembly since it supp …
