Using 'omics to study bacteria which secrete biopolymers (the backbone of biofilms!) 🦠

Metagenomics/transcriptomics, gene cluster annotation, exopolysaccharides, functional amyloids, eDNA 🧬
Another fruitful collaboration with the Otzen group 🦠🧫🧬

We looked for curli and Fap operons across the bacterial tree of life (GTDB v226), and found that while Fap operon synteny and FapC repeat numbers are remarkably conserved, the opposite is true for curli operons and csgA!

DMS 2025 is a wrap! 🧫

I had a lot of great discussions with people about biofilms and EPS 🦠

Thomas Bjarnsholt's keynote about rediscovering the drivers of chronic infections was a highlight 🧬

A lot of interest in epsSMASH, so now I am even more motivated to get our preprint out ASAP! 🖥

🧬FapC amyloid protein structure unveiled🦠

I am proud to have performed the bioinfo part of this very impressive paper which not only shows the structure of an important functional amyloid protein, but also investigates its fibrillation mechanics and catalytic activity! 🖥

Returning home from #Biofilms11 today. It's been a great week full of lovely people and chats about all things biofilm!

A big thank you to the organisers for offering me my very first conference talk, allowing me to spread the word about epsSMASH 😊🧬🦠
