Grateful to the Niederweis lab for the chance to collaborate on #T7SS export of the #tuberculosis necrotizing toxin CpnT. Spoiler alert: ESX-5 is not involved. ESX-4 secretes CpnT; ESX-1, ESX-2 and ESX-4 damage the phagosome to traffic CpnT to the cytosol. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-2…

so proud of my undergrad for successfully making our first smeg deletion mutant!
learning moodle this afternoon. I hope this 3.5 hours of training is actually useful...
best ebay deal yet - 3 free intensifying screens with my film cassettes!
just received a massive shipment of petri plates. Wish I had my strains so I could grow something in them.
highlight of the day - getting my picture taken with Goldy the gopher.
