Great seminar last week at the @jsmc-info.bsky.social, organized by @marcelbaecker.bsky.social! Prof. Christian Kost (@kostchristian.bsky.social) shared fascinating insights into microbial interactions and cooperation. Always inspiring to learn from leading researchers in the field #JSMC

We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

Swapped pipettes and petri dishes for carving tools and pumpkins this week! 🎃 We might be a little bit early, but everyone definitely delivered on this seasonal lab activity! #LabLife #JoglerLabJena #PhDLife

18 students from across Germany joined us at our #ClusterOfExcellence at @uni-jena.de for the #CampusThüringenTour! 💬 Talks, lab tours & hands-on microbiology — from Gram staining to magnetotactic bacteria from the Saale. 🔬🌱🧫 #ScienceEducation #Microbiology

So proud to have trained with Lucy. She is an exceptional scientist, exceptional person, and exceptional mentor. Huge congrats and so well-deserved. laskerfoundation.org/winners/pion...

Here we share thoughts on next-gen cultivation: rdcu.be/ejPSb. Hope it helps 😄 Was fun to write with great colleagues @lisamaierlab.bsky.social @jselkrig.bsky.social @baerboletta.bsky.social @typaslab.bsky.social @mmmicrobiomelab.bsky.social @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social @westermannlab.bsky.social

Using electrical signals, plants switch to defence mode when attacked by bacteria. How exactly this happens is now reported by researchers from #UniJena in ‘Science Advances’. ➡️ www.uni-jena.de/en/304425/ho...

Interested in the bacterial ParABS DNA segregation system? Then have a look at our latest preprint... 🧬 Thanks to the Hennig and Bange groups for the great collaboration! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Molecular basis of ParA ATPase activation by the CTPase ParB during bacterial chromosome segregation

DNA segregation by bacterial ParABS systems is mediated by transient tethering interactions between nucleoid-bound dimers of the ATPase ParA and centromere (parS)-associated complexes of the clamp-for...
