The formation of microbial exoskeletons is driven by a controlled calcium-concentrating subcellular niche Open
In nature, bacteria reside in biofilms - multicellular differentiated communities held together by extracellular matrix. In this work, we identified a novel subpopulation essential for biofilm formation – mineral-forming cells. This subpop…

Comparative transcriptomics across the prokaryotic tree of life Open
Whole-transcriptome sequencing studies from recent years revealed an unexpected complexity in transcriptomes of bacteria and archaea, including abundant non-coding RNAs, cis-antisense transcription and regulatory untranslated regions (UTRs…

Transcriptome dynamics of a broad host-range cyanophage and its hosts Open
Cyanobacteria are highly abundant in the oceans and are constantly exposed to lytic viruses. The T4-like cyanomyoviruses are abundant in the marine environment and have broad host-ranges relative to other cyanophages. It is currently unkno…
