When in doubt... Add calcium 🫶.
Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint showing that calcium is a potent inducer of natural transformation in Acinetobacter baumannii !⚡️
My first postdoc paper, co-first authored with Jason Baby Chirakadavil !! 💪
biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
We propose a model where calcium acts as a signal triggering natural transformation through both transcriptional regulation and structural activation of the type IV pilus. #typeivpilus

Why do #bacterial species' #TransformationRates vary so dramatically? @epcrocha @labXC &co show that #Legionella & #Acinetobacter transformation rates evolve by sudden changes, likely caused by conflicts between #MGEs and the host bacterium #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dMviTR

I'm really outraged by the French govt's decision to cut almost €1 billion from the research and higher education budget. We're already far behind Germany, Austria, Belg., USA, etc. (2.22 vs 3.14, 3.26, 3.43, 3.46, etc. Wd Bk data) in terms of % of GDP devoted to research & dvpt
Release of the latest Biorxiv from our lab @labXC ! YraN (unknown function, until now 🥳) is required for natural transformation AND could interact with ComM !!!!!!!
Well done @LeoHardy_ , @JuliePlantade & collaborators Violette Morales @POLARD_Lab @FannyMzzro @eprocha !!

Et voilà !!!! So happy to share our new publication : The F pilus serves as a conduit for the DNA during conjugation between physically distant bacteria !!!!!!!!
🔬🔬🔬🦠🦠 : doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2310842…
New publication from the TacC Lab in collaboration with the Erhardt Lab. A long-awaited proof of DNA transfer via the extended conjugation pilus.

Long time talking to the microscope in that dark room to see it 💪. What a magical feeling the first time🍾. YES, NOW WE KNOW ! The F pilus serves as a conduit for the DNA during conjugation between distant cells

We are looking for a postdoc enthusiastic about plasmid conjugation. See attached flyer and thank you for sharing to whom might be interested.

We are excited about our latest paper "Recipient UvrD helicase is involved in single- to double-stranded DNA conversion during conjugative plasmid transfer". Great collaboration with @Tacc_c @GoldlustKelly. academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Why assist to 1 presentation when you can have 2 great talks instead ? 🦠
Congrats to @sarahdjermoun and @GoldlustKelly that presented us their wonderful work at the @MMSB_Lyon seminar 😁 – at Lyon, France
