Characterization of an amyloid-based antiphage defence system in Escherichia coli - Nature Microbiology Prion-like proteins in Escherichia coli trigger an abortive infection mechanism in response to phage infection—a process similar to amyloid-mediated immune signalling in fungi and animals.

Check our recent contribution to this paper: Characterization of an #amyloid -based antiphage defence system in Escherichia coli, in press in Nature Microbiology. Great collaboration with the team of Sven Saupe from IBGC Bordeaux.

Molecular Distinction of Cell Wall and Capsular Polysaccharides in Encapsulated Pathogens by In Situ Magic-Angle Spinning NMR Techniques Pathogenic fungal and bacterial cells are enveloped within a cell wall, a molecular barrier at their cell surface, and a critical architecture that constantly evolves during pathogenesis. Understandin...

Great to meet the #chembio community from Bordeaux (France) for the Chemistry Biology Interface Day (CBID 2024) today!
Congratulations to Cléo Chidaine (ARNA) and Melissa Kosovari (CBMN) on winning the poster prizes!
Thanks to @univbordeaux.bsky.social and @iecb.bsky.social for sponsoring/hosting

My last participation was in 2019 and I couldn't attend the last ones, but I'll come to this one @nadia-izadi.bsky.social

It was an honor to host Frances Separovic at IECB @iecb.bsky.social for a special symposium and later for the ceremony of her Honoris Causa of Bordeaux University @univbordeaux.bsky.social ; awarded for her amazing work in #NMR science as well as her contribution to promote #womeninscience
