Check out our latest exciting work on multidrug resistant A. baumannii biofilms

🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella! I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab. 🦠 Enjoy!

Wonderful spirochete asymmetric flagellar structural work by @lucatroman.bsky.social Grateful to be part of the story supported by @debnathghosal.bsky.social

🌀 How do spirochete bacteria swim through thick fluids like champions? We solved T. denticola flagella structure - asymmetric proteins expand one side, compress the other for perfect corkscrew motion! @debnathghosal.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202... #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #Microbiology

📣 New paper alert! One of the most exciting projects we've done in recent years is now out on BioRxiv: "An Asgard archaeon from a modern analog of ancient microbial mats". Glimpse into early complex life! ❄️🦠 🔬🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... A thread...
