Harmful algal blooms are a threat to human health. Yet, we don't understand how changes in gene expression of the main culprit, Microcystis, facilitate blooms. Our latest collab, led by @le_krausfeldt and Dr. Joe Lopez, sheds light on this process.journals.asm.org/doi/full/10…
Overall, these shifts in transcriptome provide us critical information on the activities of Microcystic during bloom and may hint at ways to disrupt bloom intensification and persistence.
This work was led by the fantastic @le_krausfeldt , who is currently working with NIAID. This field-to-lab project was challenging and required a ton of perseverance on her part, especially during the social distancing era. I was just happy to be along for the ride.
New from our group!
Bacterial infections that reach a high density are challenging to treat with antibiotics, but we largely do not know why. Today, we present evidence showing that nucleotide synthesis is intimately involved. (1/8) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
This study was led by the fantastic undergraduate student Daniella Hernandez, along with an all-star cast of undergraduates, graduates, post-docs, and collaborators, including @AllisonLopatkin and her team. Congrats to everyone involved!!!
So happy and excited to see this out. A big congrats to Dr. Lopatkin and her team.
Antibiotic selection does more than the obvious....
new paper out today: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…. Read on to see what we found!
Huge congrats to our grad student Varun @UofR , & all the undergraduates @BarnardCollege, & collaborator @drrobertpsmith, for making this happen 1/N
Great way to close out the week at the RISE conference @NSUFlorida. Jonathan, Laci, Maddie and Alan presented their summer projects for @NSUMDCollege. Congrats on your very impressive presentations. Laci took home an Outstanding Poster Presentation Award. @NSUResearch
