Our work @NCIResearchCtr on how interspecies surfactants facilitate emergent surface spreading in #Paeruginosa by @Delayna_W and @zanyzarr is now out in @JBacteriology @ASMicrobiology ! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Interspecies surfactants serve as public goods enabling surface motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa...

Bacterial motility is an important determinant of bacterial fitness and pathogenesis, allowing expansion and invasion to access nutrients and adapt to new environments. Here, we demonstrate that...

New year, new preprint from our lab @NCIResearchCtr ! Our study co-led by postbac @Delayna_W and postdoc @zanyzarr describes how Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits emergent motility in the presence of interkingdom surfactants. See this thread for details.

New preprint from our lab @NCIResearchCtr ! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. This project was started by @microbiosara as the lab's first postbac, and then led by @TMartini_ #Saureus #Paeruginosa 1/2
