Specialized shuttle proteins recognize Type IX secretion signals and target effectors to their final destinations in Flavobacterium johnsoniae
Communications Biology - Bacteroidota use the Type IX secretion system to secrete proteins with a conserved C-terminal domain (CTD) secretion signal domain. Type B CTDs require specific shuttle...

📝 New preprint! We trace the origin of the plasmalogen biosynthesis pathway.
🧬 Phylogenetic and functional analyses suggest eukaryotes acquired it via HGT from Myxobacteria, with major lineage-specific differences.
✨Great collaboration between our group at @UMU and @multicellgenome.bsky.social

Is academic research becoming too competitive? Nature examines the data
Applications for European research grants increased in 2025. Scientists say they’re feeling the competition.

Fun fact: did you know that the slime bacterium Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis holds the record for having the longest scientific name of any living or fossil organism?
No joke, this species really exists!
