Critically evaluating the relative importance of phage in shaping microbial community composition

The ubiquity of bacteriophages (phages) and the major evolutionary and ecological impacts they can have on their microbial hosts has resulted in phages often cited as key drivers shaping microbial com...

First paper from the MultiDefence consortium reviewing what we know about multi-layered genome defences in bacteria. Supported by BBSRC sLoLa led by Edze Westra. Aleksei Agapov did a great job pulling it all together! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Defence Systems are so hot right now 🔥 🔥 🔥 so check out our latest preprint to see how DSes contribute to niche adaptation, interact with each other, and drive accessory genome interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Defence systems drive accessory genome interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

As well as undergoing mutational selection, bacterial genomes are shaped by a complex evolutionary interplay among diverse accessory genome elements (AGEs). In this study we define AGEs as encompassin...

A very warm welcome to Jasmine Thomas-Campbell - PhD student with @taylorlabgroup.bsky.social and Prof. Edze Westra; and to @taoranfu.bsky.social - PDRA with @brockhurstlab.bsky.social who have recently joined our Multidefence team 🥳 Looking forward to working together!!

Not a bad train journey reading this absolutely brilliant book by Tom Ireland. It perfectly illustrates the history, current situation and future of phage therapy! Finding some PhD motivation which is always nice 🥼📖 Highly recommend to anyone who wants to understand phages more!

Hi @bsky.app, First post! Thought it would be best to introduce myself! I’m a PhD student at the University of Bath studying the regulatory control of bacterial defence systems. I am a BBSRC SWBio funded student working within the project remit of a larger BBSRC sLoLa grant- MultiDefence.
