@alexguyon.bsky.socialEver had issues with contamination in #Marchantia or #liverwort tissue culture? We've developed a protocol that is simple and low-effort (albeit slow) to get rid of fungi and bacteria: dx.doi.org/10.17504/pro.... Work led by Isaac Coven and supported by Chetan Pandey, myself & @dromius.bsky.social.
Show PostAbsolutely gorgeous microscopy and time-lapse imaging on this plant-mutualist-pathogen system! Insane in the membrane 🎶 Well done @alexguyon.bsky.social @dromius.bsky.social and colleagues!
Show PostCheck out amazing confocal images by @alexguyon.bsky.social, former member of @dromius.bsky.social lab and now postdoc in Maria Harrison’s group. He managed to image haustoria from a pathogen and arbuscules from a symbiont in the same cell! 🤩
Show PostYes indeed PI(4,5)P2 biosensor is enriched at the peri-germ cell membrane 😃 (another parallel!), See the picture below. It was published here: doi.org/10.1083/jcb.... but confusingly, the peri-germ cell membrane was called here pollen "endo-PM"...
Show PostBeautiful pictures Alex, and super interesting work! congrats
