Glad to see this out. Introducing "swashing," a flagella-independent form of bacterial surface migration.
#MicrobiologyMonday: Bacteria swarm, but DYK they also "swash"? This flagella-independent movement is tied to fermentation: as cells ferment sugars, they create local osmolarity gradients, which generate a wave of fluid driving expansion. #JBacteriology: asm.social/2Gh
ALT Propulsion-independent surface migration in S. enterica LT2 and E. coli.

A mind-blowing presentation by Eric Dudebout from @WadhwaLab at @ASU, unraveling SWASHING MOTILITY, a propulsion-independent mechanism for bacterial surface migration.

Somewhat delayed, but thanks to the feedback from many folks, including @EvolvedBiofilm, @AnuKhareLab, and others, we revised our recent bioRxiv pre-print.
Most importantly, we re-christened this bacterial motility mechanism to 'Swashing Motility.'

🎉 It’s the 2-year anniversary of the Wadhwa lab! Perfect time to share our lab’s first preprint. Read on for a surprising new discovery about bacterial motility.

This work is a close collaboration with David Blair’s group at @UUtah. Big kudos to Dave’s former grad student @DNAmanipulation and our own star undergrad-turned-master’s student, Eric Dudebout, for leading these efforts beautifully.

Looking forward to hosting @DrPrasanthM from Ry Young's group in our lab and looking at phage-bacteria interactions in real time. Exciting two weeks ahead 🙌
Will be visiting Arizona State University, Tempe for couple of weeks #phagebiology
Glad to have played a very small part in this awesome work by @ptbrown1729 and @doug

Flagellar motor is a gift that keeps giving 😍
My grandfather built motors that powered big machines. In a lab not so different from his workshop, my colleagues and I uncovered the assembly of the bacterial motor. Today, this discovery has been published in @NatureMicrobiol #MolecularNodes #Discovery nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
This piece brought up some very painful memories.
On 3 separate occasions, I spent ~4 months 'stuck', waiting for a US visa approval. Imagine spending a year of your life in limbo. Not knowing whether you'll make it in time to start your phd or postdoc. It is terrible.

Published today @SJohnsonDPhil and @justindeme85 story finally revealing the molecular basis for transmission of uni-directional ion flow into bi-directional rotation of the bacterial flagellum doi.org/10.1038/s41564-024-0… – at Frederick, MD
"You have to focus on things that you can change."
Wonderful interview! And a well-deserved recognition.
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.
Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
