Now out in its final form, our investigation of how Pseudomonas aeruginosa manages resources to permit ongoing adaptations to environment during starvation: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... Congrats to first author @findunmun1.bsky.social, and co-authors Claudia Hemsley and Elize Ambulte.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa dynamically prioritizes motility and resource recycling during prolonged starvation | mSystems
Molecular microbiology has traditionally focused on exponential growth in model organisms as the preferred context in which to study bacterial physiology, especially the regulation of new protein synt...

New preprint from the lab! @findunmun1.bsky.social @chemsley.bsky.social We looked at new protein synthesis and genetic fitness during starvation in P. aeruginosa. Resources are dynamically redistributed to support ongoing activity, even over days of total starvation: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Analyses of protein expression and genetic fitness determinants reveal dynamic pathways active in starved Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Heterotrophic bacteria rapidly deplete essential macronutrients during growth and must navigate subsequent periods of growth arrest imposed by starvation. Nutrient limitations can be dynamic in nature...

Excited to share our latest, "Biofilm dispersal patterns revealed using far-red fluorogenic probes." @plos.bsky.social We developed a cell-labeling strategy using far-red dyes to image dense microbial communities (where fluorescent proteins often do not work well) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
