The EMBO workshop (March 2027) on marine microbial chemicals communication is open for abstract submission and registration (deadline 20th Oct 2026). The inaugural meeting in 2025 was fantastic and there are already some great speakers lined up, highly recommended. meetings.embo.org/event/27-mar...

Marine microbial chemical communication

This EMBO Workshop on Marine Microbial Chemical Communication will bring together researchers at the forefront of understanding the chemical crosstalk of microbial interactions in the ocean. As micr…

🌊🦠🧪 Delighted to share this work now out in @isme-microbes.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/isme... The currency of microbial life is chemistry, but there’s so much still unknown about how metabolic interactions shape communities. 1/

Thrilled to share our new paper in @science.org describing our discovery that bacteria can switch from competitors to bonafide predators when resources run dry—arming nanoscale “spears” (T6SS) to stab & consume neighbours. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #MicroSKy #Microbiology

Antagonism as a foraging strategy in microbial communities

In natural habitats, nutrient availability limits bacterial growth. We discovered that bacteria can overcome this limitation by acquiring nutrients by lysing neighboring cells through contact-dependen...
