​Super cool new preprint from former colleague @goemanslab.bsky.social 🧫 ​They show that "bacteriostatic" antibiotics don't just freeze growth, they can actually drive bacterial death by tipping the scales of strain competition in communities. ​Check it out 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Bacteriostatic antibiotics drive bacterial death by reshaping competitive interactions
Protein synthesis inhibitors, including macrolides and tetracyclines, are classically defined as bacteriostatic because they arrest bacterial growth without directly causing death. Yet their effects v...

Beachside science in Ventura with @kelleygallagher.bsky.social and her awesome PhD student during the STIM GRC. We put Streptomyces on a pedestal. From regulatory networks to signaling molecules that shape microbial decisions and metabolism. Science is better with conversations and ocean air. 🦠🧫

Thrilled to share our latest work on the Actinobacterial G protein system, now on bioRxiv! 🧬 In this study, we uncover how the accessory protein CvnF8 modulates histidine kinase activity to regulate key cellular processes in Streptomyces coelicolor. And it is just the start 😉. Stay tuned!

The accessory protein CvnF8 modulates histidine kinase activity in an Actinobacterial G protein system in Streptomyces coelicolor
Conservons are regulatory systems found in bacteria of the phylum Actinomycetota. These regulatory systems are composed of four core proteins: a sensor histidine kinase-like protein (CvnA homolog), an...

#ISBA2025 will be my official introduction in the Actino community. As we all look at understanding the diversity of these Microorganisms. I remain convinced that diversity drives discovery, from natural product discovery to human community. #PrideMonth #QueerInScience
