It was a great pleasure to attend EMBO conference BacNet 2026 #EMBOBacNet - truly inspiring talks, converstations, great atmosphere for networking and discussions! 👌🌞
Thank you all!
🧫🧬

Here it is online, a week after the teaser talk at #EMBOBacNet... @natmicrobiol.nature.com by @humollidorentina.bsky.social et al from @aharms485.bsky.social
with @veeninglab.com

Our Collaborative Research Center MibiNet @mibinet.bsky.social @hhu.de was strongly present in #EMBOBacNet
Best poster prize for Benita Lückel, a PhD student in Bott group @fz-juelich.de, sponsored by @natmicrobiol.nature.com

Congrats🎉🎉everyone
& organizers @lalouxlab.bsky.social @s-lab.bsky.social

Thanks to the organizers, presenters, and session chairs at #EMBOBacNet for a great meeting this week. Excited to be back after great discussions and feedback, and a stay at an unmatched venue with views that never disappoint!

On my way back to Newcastle after a fantastic 5 days at the #EMBOBacNet workshop in gorgeous Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain. I feel so fortunate to have attended and presented my work! I go back to my project feeling inspired 👩🏽‍🔬🔬

#EMBOBacNet ended, leaving good memories of science and discussions about the diversity of bacterial networks. Thanks to @lalouxlab.bsky.social @coralietesseur.bsky.social and @s-lab.bsky.social for the wonderful organization 👏

Poster prizes at #EMBOBacNet congratulations to all! 👏

More than 100 posters with exciting research!

Last science talk at #EMBOBacNet is given by Yassine Cherrak @ycherrak.bsky.social on Bacterial competition in the gut: lessons from a commensal strain

Ákos @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social telling us about circadian rhythms on B. subtilis biofilms. Are they early 🐥 or night 🦉?🤔 #EMBOBacNet

Knut explains their new system to monitor intracellular antibiotic concentrations in real-time(!) using allosteric biosensors that also works under anaerobic conditions (FAST-based sensor)

See their bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#EMBOBacNet

Knut introduces the impact of biofilms on health and how antibiotic influence biofilms
See for example their @natmicrobiol.nature.com paper
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#EMBOBacNet

Knut Drescher @knutdrescher.bsky.social on Spatiotemporal organization of biofilm formation and functions
#EMBOBacNet

Inbar Wechsler (from Sigal Ben-Yehuda Lab) on Kiss and tell: Monitoring bacterial contact-dependent interactions

#EMBOBacNet

María Negre Rodríguez (from my group at Institute of Biology Leiden) on Hitchhiking in the rhizosphere: Bacillus–Streptomyces cooperative root colonization
#EMBOBacNet

So many excellent studies on the structural properties of the biofilm matrix, difficult to cover all, just see the publications of Tanmay and you will probably find your favourite biofilm forming bacterium and its matrix
See: scholar.google.com/citations?hl...

#EMBOBacNet

Tanmay explains their recent work on Pseudomonas fibrillar adhesin, CdrA

See their bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#EMBOBacNet

Tanmay introduces the protein fibers stabilizing the biofilm matrix
See their Biochem J review: portlandpress.com/biochemj/art...

#EMBOBacNet

An EMBO Young Investigator Lecture at #EMBOBacNet by Tanmay Bharat @tbharat-lab.bsky.social on Multi-Scale, Correlated Cryogenic Imaging of Bacterial Biofilms

Andrew Hogan (from @jordivangestel.bsky.social and @typaslab.bsky.social groups at @embl.org) on Systematically quantifying the spectrum of bacterial defenses against protist predation

#EMBOBacNet

Will now on experimental evolution for T6SS resistance using single or a combination of two fundamentally different toxins, amazing difference in the list of mutations

See their bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
