Here you can see the cryoEM structure of DRT2-RT-ncRNA binary complex from Klebsiella pneumoniae (PDB code: 9JL3)

I've been seeing a lot of amazing work on #microbial interactions and #metabolic #crossfeeding lately

I wanted to share an experiment where we co-cultured prototrophic+auxotrophic lineages of #Klebsiella and found that they commensally support each others growth

journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Figure 4 from linked article. Panel A shows the experimental setup, where an auxotroph is cultured in media that it cannot metabolise the carbon source, resulting in no growth. A second diagram is shown where a prototroph is added to the media, seperated by a transwell barrier, resulting in growth of the auxotroph.
Panel B shows the in vitro growth experiments validating this. Multiple auxotrophic lineages of K. pneumoniae were grown by themselves across 4 carbon sources with and without prototrophic lineages. Growth of auxotrophic isolates was seen in co-culture while absent in single culture.
Panel C shows the log2 fold change summary across all experiments when adding in prototrophs. Growth was significantly different from 24 hours onwards.

I’ve had many different door signs, each marking a new chapter in my academic journey.
The last one became a real favourite of mine - so I‘ll keep it.
Happy to share that I’ll be staying at the Univ. Graz as an Ass. Professor.

Bacteria rule!

Our new paper is online and describes how antibiotic treatment #AMR versus osmotive laxative pre-exposure alters the gut environment leading to different colonization outcomes and evolutionary fates of hypervirulent #Klebsiella pneumoniae!
