Elle exprime sa profonde sympathie à toutes les personnes touchées par ce tragique événement, aux victimes et à leurs proches. 🤍 ⚫ www.unil.ch/news/fr/1767...

A single DNA methylation site regulates cell fate during Clostridioides difficile sporulation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to see our new work published! We have established the evolutionary and ecological context of our favorite model Caulobacter and made some unexpected findings. Who would have thought that close relatives lack dimorphism? And have potential for phototrophy? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The bacterial #SOSresponse unfolds in a defined temporal order, but how does this arise? @adityakamat.bsky.social @anjbadri.bsky.social &co show that intrinsic #promoter strength, modulated by #SigmaFactor usage, governs timing of SOS gene activation in Caulobacter @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oAKf0Q

Two M. tuberculosis RelE toxins don’t cut mRNA, they slice 16S rRNA itself, shutting down translation in a totally unexpected way, new study reveals. A big leap in understanding TB’s survival tricks and new angles for therapies. 📖 shorturl.at/Z8MVX ✍️ @genevauxpierre.bsky.social & coll. #MicroSky
