Our new study shows that a #phytopathogenic bacterium uses distinct #chemoreceptors to detect plant defence compounds, revealing an important role for #chemotaxis in plant #virulence. @krelllaboratory.bsky.social @gavirius.bsky.social @robertagenova.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens. Pathogen attack triggers the release of defense compounds by plants. Bacteria move chemotactically to these compounds.Nice collaboration with Ashleigh Holmes, @gavirius.bsky.social, @miguelmatilla.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

¿Por qué la vacuna de AstraZeneca provocó efectos secundarios graves solo en un grupo minúsculo de personas? Tras años de incertidumbre, una investigación publicada en el New England Journal of Medicine revela la errata genética que transformó una protección en una amenaza.

How to identify the #signals that recognize a bacterial #receptor? Our work provides some tips to trackle with a main bottleneck in #microbiology. You'll find your answers in our poster 285 in area D. #FEMS2025 #microsky @krelllaboratory.bsky.social @fems.micro.org @miguelmatilla.bsky.social

Exciting 3rd day of #FEMS2025 . Today our post-doc @eli-monteagudo.bsky.social is presenting a poster n 285 at poster area D! And she is doing a flash talk at 1 pm at theatre 1 #microsky

Excited to be attending #FEMS2025 with @robertagenova.bsky.social @eli-monteagudo.bsky.social @krelllaboratory.bsky.social this week! Looking forward to sharing our work on Ancylobacter cellulose synthesis and connecting with the microbiology community 🧫🧬 #Microbiology #BacterialCellulose

A fantastic first day of #FEMS2025 with @krelllaboratory.bsky.social @labo316.bsky.social @eli-monteagudo.bsky.social @sophiemartirani.bsky.social

What an inspiring first day at FEMS MICRO Milan! We heard from FEMS Pres. Antonio Ventosa at the Opening while former Pres. Hilary Lappin-Scott helped connect new attendees. Thanks to keynotes Profs. Carmen Buchrieser and Gian Rossolini for sharing their expertise. #FEMS2025

Rocío's PhD committee was formed by: Francisca Reyes #UPO #cabd, Carlos Medina @unisevilla.bsky.social y Elisabet Monteagudo @eezcsic.bsky.social Great discussion! We wish Dr. Barroso the best!
