Very happy to share our Druantia III–Zorya II synergy story, now on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2026.05.12.724681v1 It appears alongside several Druantia III papers from excellent colleagues, each telling a different part of the story. (links below)

This is the first time we observed bacteria use plasmolysis to defence against phages! biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thanks all the authors to discover this together! @fnobrega.bsky.social Zhiying @garushyants.bsky.social Dinshaw and Eugene

Another work comes! 🥳🥳 Nice to work with Zhiying, Thomas and Roman to characterize the Kiwa mechanism! The overlapping interaction between Kiwa and RecBCD showcases another layer of bacterial defence systems' interaction:) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
