New preprint! 🐝 We engineered a bacterial biosensor to reveal micron-scale arabinose gradients in the honeybee gut. Congratulations to Audam and all co-authors. Great collaboration with @pengellab.bsky.social as part of the NCCR Microbiomes at @fbm-unil.bsky.social

🦠 Who gets there first... wins? 🐝
A new study on #honeybee #gut #microbiota shows that microbiome assembly isn’t just about who is present, but when they arrive.

The honeybee gut microbiota plays a key role in shaping host health and susceptibility to disease. Yet, the nutrient environment it experiences within the gut remains poorly characterized. In particul...
Really happy to see our paper finally published in PNAS 🎉
We used honey bees to study how gut microbiota shape cognition and found that learning benefits only appear when the full microbial community is present — not with individual bacterial species alone. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Abstract. Gut microbial communities often differ at the strain level among individual hosts, but the mechanisms driving this variation remain poorly unders
