Phosphorus deficiencies invoke optimal allocation of exoenzymes by ectomycorrhizas
Our study emphasizes the key role of symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi in phosphorus acquisition. By Dr. Melanie Jones, UBCO and Dr. JM Kranabetter, BC MOF
Straight Swimming to the Intestinal Epithelium
In the gastrointestinal tract, smooth swimming facilitates invasion of intestinal epithelial cells by Salmonella Typhimurium. We found that the master regulator HilD coordinates these processes and that McpC, a chemotaxis protein, promotes straight swimming and optimal invasion.
Do not let weird things pass right under your nose… or the Ariadne’s thread of bacterial metabolism
We often witness what objectively look like strange occurrences without giving them much (if any!) importance—in most cases, because we heard about them so many times that we take such observations for granted. One of them is the co-existence of two alternative glycolytic pathways in E. coli ...
A Diet-Microbe-Epithelia Metabolic Trilogue in the Stressed Gut
Gut epithelial integrity is dynamically shaped by microbial signals amenable to environmental and psychological modulation. Here we dissect dietary impact on psychological stress-induced gut microbial remodeling and how this is metabolically linked to stem cell proliferation and epithelial renewal.

Starting a new face: from biochemistry to the biology of biofilms
After working with bacterial biofilms as model to understand the evolution of enzymes in complex environments, it was hard to go back to domesticated bacteria. In my new lab we will continue to bridge between biofilms' biology and evolutionary biochemistry.
