A problematic notion www.science.org/content/arti...

For my first bluesky post I'm stoked to share this work, done with fellow Foster lab alum Connor Sharp! (@magicmicrobe.bsky.social) We set out to discover why bacteria carry multiple similar weapons for attacking other bacteria. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

If you check out my lab's recent work, you'll notice how much biofilm structure is destroyed by dehydration & vacuum during standard scanning electron microscopy. These are both images of P. aeruginosa PA14 #biofilm on pig lung tissue at 48h p.i: using cryoSEM retains the biofilm matrix. #MicroSky
