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...

We are really happy for the support from @kawresearch.bsky.social and for this nice piece about our research!

Billions of bacteria are already known and play a crucial role in our #health – but there is also an almost invisible neighboring group: the #Archaea. These are ancient microorganisms whose function in the human body remains something of a mystery @umeauniversitet.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yhr9yjsm

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...

Really cool story from @lisamaierlab.bsky.social! We are happy that @luuuprz.bsky.social (PhD student in our lab) contributed a small part.

New paper from the lab! Led by Patrick Müller: we show that non-antibiotic compounds — but not macrolide antibiotics — can induce an efflux pump that protects Bacteroidaceae from macrolides. A neat twist on drug–microbe interactions... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Annika Druy joined our lab as a PhD student! Annika will study mechanisms of drug resistance in species of the human gut microbiome. She is part of the ENDAMR doctoral network (endamr.eu).

We welcome Didrik, who will help us study the biosynthesis of O-glycans in Bacteroidota species.

What a fantastic week of science! And it couldn’t have finished in a better way, with Lucia winning one of the best poster awards! #EESMicrobiology

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....
