New insight published in @molecularmicro.bsky.social by @saraalexander.bsky.social + Mark Goulian about how the phosphotransfer system known as PTS-Ntr mediates methylglyoxal resistance via K+ transporters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

An Escherichia coli Phosphotransferase System Modulates Methylglyoxal Resistance by Regulating Intracellular Potassium
Escherichia coli can survive methylglyoxal stress by modulating phosphorylation of a regulatory phosphotransferase system, which, in turn, regulates the activity of a potassium/proton antiporter. The...

Hey y’all! #ASMicrobe is 2 months away. We want to be there but our funding is unexpectedly short. If your institution can help us out please get in touch. We don’t want to ever charge people for our service but if we don’t raise money we can’t do it this year. binningsingletons.com/sponsor/

New preprint from our lab! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. Project was started by @saraalexander.bsky.social and then led by @tmartini.bsky.social who tested so many possibilities to pin down the mechanism!

Why doesn’t the bigger one simply eat the smaller one?
