And now published as an Observation! Many congrats to @weeboont.bsky.social for discovering that AsmA superfamily proteins, YhdP/TamB/YdbH, localize to the cell poles in E. coli, curiously AFTER division has occurred! 1/3 #MicroSky

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria serves as an effective permeability
barrier and confers intrinsic antibiotic resistance. This barrier function requires
distinct distribution of lipid...
@weeboont.bsky.social talked about our lab's recent preprint where we report AsmA superfamily proteins, believed to be phospholipid transporters, localizing to cell poles in E. coli. Really interesting observations, with impt implications for OM assembly!

The Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope comprises an outer membrane (OM) with an asymmetric arrangement of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids (PLs), protecting them from both physical and c...
Jun #SGBUG with Aaron Tan from the groups of @kimingeneva.bsky.social and @gthibault.bsky.social talking about exciting findings on E. faecalis pathogenesis, and @weeboont.bsky.social from our lab sharing his newest work on phospholipid transporters in E. coli! @scelse.bsky.social Awesome crowd!
