We found that many bacterial species use exogenous peptidoglycan fragments - released by lysis of neighboring cells - as a general danger signal, triggering a danger response that protects bacteria against many dangers: biofilm formation.

We developed a method for spatiotemporal transcriptome measurements during bacterial swarm development, which revealed cross-feeding across generations!

Now out: 👇

How do microbial communities develop? Combining live-cell microscopy with a robotic arm for sampling reveals a cross-feeding mechanism during Bacillus subtilis swarm development.

Congrats to @HannahJeckel @no_show3 @knutdrescher & colleagues!
