#Bacteria can elude predators when in mixed colonies https://phys.org/news/2023-02-bacteria-elude-predators-colonies.html
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 in #Streptococcus controls genetic transformation, biofilm formation & virulence. @[email protected] &co show that it's also crucial for host #adherence, involving the fratricin CbpD, which exposes #virulence factors to the cell surface #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3DtTwmJ

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.
A recent paper from #AppEnvMicro, “Streptomyces coelicolor Vesicles: Many Molecules To Be Delivered," explores the production & characterization of membrane vesicles in liquid cultures of S. coelicolor M145. Find it in the MBP New and Notable collection: https://asm.social/11r

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 …
