  1. @phylogenomics Looks like my old friend #Myxococcus xanthus (NCBI:txid2818505) is now going to be under #Myxococcota instead of #Proteobacteria - the new phylum seems made for it 🦠❤️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxococc

  2. Interesting functional #microbiome study published in Cell Host & Microbes recently on how psychoactive drugs interact with the gut microbiome and addiction.

    Authors found that after exposing mice to cocaine ▶️ increase in norepinephrine ▶️ increase in #Proteobacteria colonization ▶️ depletion of glycine in gut/CSF/blood ▶️ facilitation of cocaine-induced addiction-like behaviors.
