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

Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy

Definitely 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.

@EvolvedBiofilm I'm not sure how I feel after watching this clip πŸ˜‚ . "Het drankassortiment is mij welbekend..."
Excellent 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.

@BrockhurstLab I've used .tif with LZW compression using GIMP in the past. It should retain the required quality.
Good luck!
@meren Welcome! It isn't all too shabby here so far.
