I’m happy to share our study out in Microbiome! link.springer.com/article/10.1... Knowing that coculture interactions often disappear in larger communities, we used cocktails of phages to study vitamin exchange interactions within enrichment cultures.

So proud to see this study out — a real honor to be involved in work from my PhD lab!

Latest from the lab and a fantastic collaboration with Eric Brown's team at @mcmasteriidr.bsky.social. Screening for new antibiotics from actinomycete extracts under nutrient-deprived conditions identifies a megacluster of synergistic antibiotics that target biotin biosynthesis. rdcu.be/fqejG

The latest from the lab. Manikomycin, a new cyclic depsipeptide antibiotic from an 'old' source, the oxytetracycline producer Streptomyces rimosus. Still lots to be learned from this genus! Manikomycin blocks the E-site of the bacterial ribosome. A first. links.springernature.com/f/a/Q0JMeeZK...
