I'm at the EBAME8 workshop with @EvelienAdri - today Tom Delmont is on stage with Anvi'o. Brilliant tutorial, and most importantly useful hints.

Professor Lesley HoylesDefinitely a team effort to get this one out. :)
We've isolated a novel phage that can disrupt established biofilms ... but it doesn't encode a depolymerase or exhibit depolymerase activity. I think this one is going to keep us busy for a long time.

Freya HarrisonExcellent new review of the molecular mechanisms of #AntibioticResistance #AMR from the Blair and Webber labs: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-022-00820-y
Molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance revisited - Nature Reviews Microbiology
In this Review, Blair, Webber and colleagues explore our understanding of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, including reduced permeability, antibiotic efflux, modification or alteration of the antibiotic target, modification or destruction of the drug itself, and bypass of metabolic pathways. They also discuss how this information can aid in developing the next generation of antimicrobial therapies.

Zach ReitzI'm pleased to announce that antiSMASH can now predict if an NRPS BGC produces a metallophore!
Check out our new preprint for all the details:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.14.519525v1
I tested the new algorithm on 15k bacterial genomes. NRP metallophores make up an astounding 25% of all NRPS BGCs! This thread will have some more highlights.
Test it out on the antiSMASH website and let me know what you think!

James ElderOh my God.
I’ve just realised what ChatGPT reminds me of. It’s from Douglas Adams’ novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, published 35 years ago.
