📍Our paper is out!📍 Here, we show the development of a GC-MS/MS method for the quantification of 120 compounds produced by gut bacteria, including short-chain fatty acids, indols, nucleotides, organic acids, and amino acid derivatives. Check it out! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Franziska Faber and I are recruiting shared postdocs, PhD students to work on Fusobacterium & new BGCs. www.helmholtz-hiri.de/fileadmin/HI...

New paper from the lab! Led by Patrick Müller: we show that non-antibiotic compounds — but not macrolide antibiotics — can induce an efflux pump that protects Bacteroidaceae from macrolides. A neat twist on drug–microbe interactions... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

📣 Open position: We are looking for a new #ScientificLead for the #SILVA database 🧬🖥️ You will be responsible for guiding the development of this important resource and for curating the SILVA taxonomy🌳and more! 👉 www.dsmz.de/dsmz/career/... Read and share ‼️ #sciencejobs 🦠🧪 #career #taxonomy

Want to delineate genera? We have been optimising POCP, and propose POCPu, which stops the 'double counting' of proteins in POCP by only allowing unique matches. We also speed up, and benchmarked, the analysis using DIAMOND; peerj.com/articles/202... (now implemented in Protologger)

Great work from our FAIR science master Charlie (www.linkedin.com/in/charliepa...) to delineate bacterial genera: peerj.com/articles/202.... We hope this will help many. The POCPu calculation is now implemented in protologger.bi.denbi.de by @tcahitch.bsky.social. Thanks for the hard work you 2 ⭐⭐
