Want to learn more about dissecting microbial community interactions across scales using the corrinoid model? Check out this @annualreviews.bsky.social of Microbiology article from our lab. Congrats to co-first authors Zoila and Becky! #microsky www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

The Xue lab at UC Irvine is looking for a staff scientist to support our work investigating how microbes interact and evolve in the gut microbiome! Open to a wide range of previous experience levels, see ad for more. recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09601

Our recent work on Actinobacterial G protein system is live on bioRxiv! These regulatory systems are conserved in Actinomycetota and are involved in secondary metabolism, phage defense, and cellular development. Check out the preprint here 👇:

As part of the #McClintockLetters Initiative, members of the Taga Lab wrote op-ed's and letters to their local hometown papers to defend federal science funding. Check them out in this thread and join the fight to defend federal science funding (1/4)!

Taga lab (past and present) will be at #ASMMicrobe2025! Swing by our posters to learn more about corrinoid producers in Archaea and more! Poster details are included in this thread. @asm.org #ASMMicrobe #MicroSky #ASMMicrobe25 #Microbe2025

What a great time with Pete Greenberg, @tagalab.bsky.social, @cwhitch.bsky.social, @laahrs.bsky.social, and Jeff Boyd in Dresden + learning about the history of quorum sensing research, the 2Ms, Matt and Marvin, BB medium, and many more stories

Congratulations to our RaMP scholar, Farrah, for a great talk at the Bay Area RaMP in Microbiome Sciences! We are so proud of you!

Check out our new paper led by lab member Kenny Mok! We highlight that understanding individual cobamide preferences of bacteria is necessary to understand the critical function of these vitamins in microbial communities. 1/4 journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Microbes display broad diversity in cobamide preferences #mSystems Observation from @tagalab.bsky.social journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Last week we joined the Berkeley community to #standupforscience2025. Lots of energy and momentum to push us forwards! Thanks to the organizers who got this to happen 🧬 @standupforscience.bsky.social
