  1. #Bacterial #plasmids utilize two distinct survival strategies—stealth and manipulation—to drive a "stealth-first" mechanism where #antimicrobial resistance genes are initially acquired by stealthy plasmids before being rapidly disseminated by manipulative ones.

  2. #Bacteria use weapons to outdo rivals, but what happens if they're transferred? @prokaryota &co show that HGT of toxin #plasmids is rare but recipients can thrive under relaxed nutrient competition, reshaping bacterial warfare @PLOSBiology plos.io/43vC3X7

  3. Anyone know if it's common for two plasmids within the same K. pneumoniae strain to both encode rmpA (regulator of mucoid phenotype)? #Klebsiella #plasmids

  9. This ought to make for an interesting read: ' #prophages and #plasmids display opposite trends in the types of accessory genes they carry ' - I thought standing theory was viruses / #phages came from plasmids (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). So could we track for a possible point of divergence somewhere? #microbiology #evolution

  10. For Nanopore Community Meeting #ncm2022 - my onsite poster number is #7, and online number is #16. I'll be around the poster from 4 to 5:15 or so, please do stop by and provide some feedback! Especially interested in feedback for #Deinococcus #phages #plasmids #phylogeny

  11. Interesting observation on #marinebacteria #phage #plasmids - apparently found during an experimental evolution displaying reliable crashes after some generations. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

  12. Today, we decided to reduce a little bit our energy expenses by throwing away the equivalent of a small -20°C freezer of old #plasmids and #oligonucleotides and by better organizing the space for the rabbit sera against pre-ribosomal factors obtained 20 years ago and still useful.

    A difficult decision for aborted projects, such as the one in which we studied #Vms1, a #ribosome-associated tRNA cleavage protein, discovered through its genetic interactions with the Ski complex.😮‍💨

  13. #Introduction

    I’m a Post-doc at the University of Oxford, working on the evolution of bacterial genomes and pangenomes. I’m interested in bacterial cooperation and ecology, and how these might interact with horizontal gene transfer.

    I’m on the train to Manchester for the #MicroEvo22 meeting, where I’ll be presenting a poster (no. 17). Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!

  19. Hey folks! New to Mastodon, so here's my #Introduction:
    I'm Oliver Schwengers, a microbial bioinformatics PostDoc researcher in the Goesmann lab @JLU Gießen. My research focus on the in silico analysis and characterization of bacterial genomes and #plasmids based on WGS data. I love collaborating with medical/environmental/space microbiology researchers. Besides hands-on analyses, I develop and maintain bioinformatics methods & software tools, e.g. Bakta, Platon, ReferenceSeeker ...
