Isn’t it amazing that you can culture a microbe and see what chemistry it produces? Metabolite extracts by @zmaw.bsky.social #naturalproducts

Second talk from BvdB covering cell surface biology in Bacteroides. Always great to see the pedal bin and TonB plug. J’adore the pedal bin.
Massive thank you to the #dreamtheme speakers, attendees and organisers. And to @winterhalterlab.bsky.social for chairing!

Second talk was from another of M3031's finest, Finn Brady from @jmarlesw.bsky.social lab
working on the general stressosome 🫑
Lovely to see how this story is moving along!
