Sticking point for Aeromonas. @tjarrods @GuilleminLab report #zebrafish #symbiont, Aeromonas, uses mucin-reg. adhesin to control its inflammatory character & spatial organization in gut.Analogous Akkermansia adhesins suggest similar mechanisms in human gut cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Cell-type-specific responses to the microbiota across all tissues of the larval zebrafish dlvr.it/SjPf71

Cell-type-specific responses to the microbiota across all tissues of the larval zebrafish

The Larval Zebrafish Gnotobiotic Atlas provides a comprehensive resource of microbiota-dependent transcriptomes across the entire body at single-cell resolution. Massaquoi et al. show gene expression...

Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Laura Desban @DesbanLaura a #postdoc with #EisenLab & @GuilleminLab @uoregon. She studies how interactions between microbes and chemosensory systems shape animal behavior– specifically in context of olfaction and social behavior (1/2)

For bacterial genome sequencing, would you pick fast, good, or cheap? Now you can get ALL 3 with our new ONT sequencing service that almost always produces circular, full-length bacterial chromosome contigs with consensus accuracy >Q50 -- often with their full plasmids too! (1/3)

Our paper is out today in PLOS Biology, please RT and tell us what you think! We discovered that bacteria encourage zebrafish social behavior by promoting microglial remodeling of 'social neurons'.🧵 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog… @PLOSBiology @MooreFoundation @LSRFdtn @ZebrafishRock

New! Online now: BefA, a microbiota-secreted membrane disrupter, disseminates to the pancreas and increases β cell mass dlvr.it/Sb51Ff

BefA, a microbiota-secreted membrane disrupter, disseminates to the pancreas and increases β cell...

Hill et al. show in zebrafish and mice that gut bacteria secrete membrane permeabilizing BefA proteins that traffic to the pancreas and stimulates insulin-producing β cell proliferation. BefA targets...

Our work on the biochemical mechanism behind a bacterial modulator of host development is out as a preprint. Check it out to learn how both host and microbial membrane perturbing proteins promote the expansion of insulin producing beta-cells. #microbiome #BefA

Using zebrafish, Hamilton and colleagues found that a primary function of the enteric nervous system is to maintain normal intestinal lumen pH, constraining intestinal microbiota community composition & promoting intestinal health. plos.io/3gNw3RD
