So, its quite humbling when a great colleague and good friend stands by their principles and walks away from a job – with nothing to go to – because of the chaotic, reckless restructuring proposed by the leadership team.

This has been long in the planning but delighted the Primers have been launched - thanks to Steve Diggle for leading on these. Great that first one is from Georgina Lloyd & former #MicrobioJ EiC Chris Thomas from @IMIBirmingham #publishingforthecommunity

Outstanding podcast on the coronavirus gain-of-function research in Wuhan that likely caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Highly recommended. If you can listen to just one podcast on the origin of COVID-19, make it this one.

I am really pleased to share something that @Lis_Lowe and my groups and some of our friends have been working on. Headline: We've identified the first mycobacterial endo-D-arabinanases. We've also found some new exo-D-arabinofuranosidases. Paper here:biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…🧵

Mining the human gut microbiome identifies mycobacterial D-arabinan degrading enzymes

Division and degradation of bacterial cell walls requires coordinated action from a myriad of enzymes. This particularly applies to the elaborate cell walls of acid-fast organisms such as Mycobacte...
