#NewResearch 🚨Out now! Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate forever chemicals, in intracellular aggregates and colonization of gnotobiotic mice with these bioaccumulating bacteria increases faecal PFAS excretion. @kiranrpatil.bsky.social #MicroSky #MicrobiomeSky 🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our new paper showing that xenobiotics like pesticides and drugs can disrupt metabolic homeostasis in gut bacteria.

Check out our new preprint! We systematically map proteomic and metabolomic interactions between >100 pairs of gut bacteria, detecting metabolic interactions and functionally-related clusters of proteins. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @kiranrpatil.bsky.social

Check out our latest work on the unexpected inhibitory effects of common agricultural and industrial chemicals on our gut bacteria. A great collaboration with Anna, Indra and Kiran et al at the MRC Tox Unit in Cambridge. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Super excited to join @meehubs.bsky.social over the next 3 days and hear about microbial ecology. Loving the concept of a hub conference so far!
