Systematic profiling of growth interactions in human gut microbiome species - Nature Communications
Here, Buyanbadrakh et al. systematically map growth interactions among gut bacteria, revealing predominantly inhibitory effects, and identifying extracellular vesicles and pH modulation as mechanisms ...

New preprint from the lab! We developed a new tool to identify prokaryotic species (down to the strain level) directly from mass spectrometry-based bottom up proteomics data. #teammassspec #microsky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint from the lab is out! 🥳 We systematically profiled all pairwise growth interactions between 36 representative human gut microbiome strains, and delved deeper into the molecular mechanisms behind specific growth interactions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇

Systematic profiling of growth interactions in human gut microbiome species
Microbial interactions shape the composition and stability of the human gut microbiome. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying these relationships remain poorly understood. Here, we systematically p...

As we start exploring this unique system of O-glycosylation in Bacteroidota species, we have reviewed the current state-of-the-art and offer some ideas on the directions we want to take. #glycotime doi.org/10.1002/2211...

Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O-glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species-specific outer g....
