@cellforganized.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.social@eswaralab.bsky.socialI am so proud of this work spearheaded by @lilymcknight.bsky.social!
In this ~4-year effort, we reveal that the presence of GpsB is crucial for cell wall stress response and antibiotic resistance (via Stk/PknB and VraSR) in S. aureus.
See the thread below for more info!

@redrockcity.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.social4 years (!) in the making, in this review Jade Wang and I detail the fundamental processes underlying growth, the cell autonomous nature of homeostatic control, and the contribution of stochasticity to both.
TL;DR Bacteria are more like teenagers than you think.
@stcmicrobeblog.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.socialthe "Mg²⁺ problem" has been known for a long time. For example, in the standard "rich medium" LB (see👇).
now we get to know more about the reasons! #MicroSky
@eswaralab.bsky.social👋🏽 Christoph, no problem at all! Thanks for sharing our work and your kind words. We are excited to get feedback from the community. I hope our paths cross again soon!
@cellforganized.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.socialApplications are now being accepted for the 2027 Bacterial Cell Biology & Development GRC, June 6–11! GRS will be on June 5-6, 2027 We’ll likely be oversubscribed, so please apply early!
@ramamurthilab.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.socialFolks have known for years that adding magnesium to media rescues the lethality of deleting many 'essential' genes, but why? @eswaralab.bsky.social and @subtisilly.bsky.social say that free iron builds up in these mutants. Mg2+ mitigates this by redirecting metabolism towards limiting ROS production

@ribo1214.bsky.socialReposted by @eswaralab.bsky.social@eswaralab.bsky.socialThanks Jen! Somehow these papers were not on our radar but perfectly support our model. We will make sure to cite them before we submit our manuscript for peer review. Let us know if you have more comments.
@eswaralab.bsky.socialThrilled to share this insightful work of Asher King @subtisilly.bsky.social and Pilar Horigian @pilarhorigian.bsky.social!

In this work, we reveal the *magic* behind the protective effects of magnesium in Bacillus subtilis. Read Asher's 🧵 below for more details.
