How do preservatives actually protect us from food-borne infections? Mark Webber of @quadraminstitute.bsky.social takes us behind the scenes of their #Microbiology paper on the effects of common preservatives on Salmonella and how insights can help find healthier alternatives microb.io/4hMVhyc

Did you know? Marine bacteria such as Vibrio fischeri can form bioluminescent biofilms. These bacteria can form symbiotic relationships with hosts like the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and the glow can help camouflage the squid from its prey! @ukbiofilms.bsky.social #BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware

Did you know? Not all biofilms are bad. Biofilms actually play important roles in wastewater treatment, bioremediation and even producing electricity in microbial fuel cells! @ukbiofilms.bsky.social #BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware

🦠 🧬 How do bacteria accept resistance genes? Register for #MNGPopUp to find out! @hoyuliu.bsky.social reveals genes that impact plasmid acceptance during conjugation—🔑 to stop spread of #AMR 📅 July 3 | 📍Norwich 🔗 linktr.ee/microbesng #MicroSky #ECR @quadraminstitute.bsky.social @webberma.bsky.social
Promotional poster for the "Norwich Pop Up" event featuring Ho Yu Liu from the Quadram Institute as a speaker. The title of her talk is: “Exploring the essential genes for plasmid acceptance in E. coli and S. Typhimurium.” The poster includes a smiling photo of Ho Yu wearing glasses and a grey top. Behind her is an aerial view of the Norwich Research Park. Logos for "microbesNG PopUp ," the Centre for Microbial Interactions, The Sainsbury Laboratory, and GetGenome are displayed at the top left. A bold vertical pink text reads "SPEAKER" on the right side. The event is on 3 July at the John Innes Conference Centre. A registration link is provided: linktr.ee/microbesng.

Had a lovely time at @biofilms11 in Cardiff last week! Thank you to all who came and had a catch about my PhD work which is funded by @ukri.org BBSRC. Take a look at the blog the comms team has put together where we chat more about the experience

Excited to be @escmid.bsky.social #escmidglobal2025 this week! I'll be giving a talk on Tuesday morning about some of my PhD work @ukri.org @quadraminstitute.bsky.social on looking at the genes important for conjugation in bacteria 🧫 Please come chat about AMR, plasmids or biofilms with me 🎉

ECR talks at BSAC AMR! First, @hoyuliu.bsky.social is using tradis to find genes essential for plasmid acceptance in E. coli. Many fundamental metabolic genes- but also efflux pumps may affect plasmid uptake & stability via impact on OM structure. Lovely, important fundamental microbiology #MicroSky
