Our latest paper is out: with @heyjzhang.bsky.social and @wachterjenny.bsky.social, we characterized stationary phase Lyme spirochetes and contrasted their behavior in culture and ticks. Work done in the Jacobs-Wagner and Rosa labs. Check it out at journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...!
Borrelia burgdorferi loses essential genetic elements and cell proliferative potential during stationary phase in culture but not in the tick vector | Journal of Bacteriology
Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease, a prevalent tick-borne illness. B. burgdorferi must survive long periods (months to a year) of apparent dormancy in the midgut of
the tick vector between bloo...

Borrelia burgdorferi loses essential genetic elements and cell proliferative potential during stationary phase in culture but not in the tick vector
The Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi is a polyploid bacterium with a segmented genome in which both the chromosome and over 20 distinct plasmids are present in multiple copies per cell. This pa...
