The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us! wadsworth.org/research/labor…

It has been a joy to be a part of this international and local collaboration! Read the story at @PNASNews or the thread below. Stayed tuned for more discoveries from @sb_worthan and @megbehri. As microbes find new and clever ways to thrive, we’ll keep asking them how they do it.
🚨This week in @PNASNews 🚨 Our new paper led by @sb_worthan examining a pH sensitive substitution in the Rho transcription terminator that evolved experimentally in the lab and then found in natural populations! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… A thread 🧵!

Preprint Alert! 🚨🚨🚨 Exciting collaboration between my group, @MarcBoudvillain’s group and @bpbratton! From populations experimentally evolved to extreme feast/famine cycles, we find pH-sensing rho alleles that confer pH-dependent plasticity in transcription termination!
