Second, by having multiple transporters for P (PhnDCE and Pst), picocyanobacteria could balance the need for rapid transport during transient episodes of higher P availability in the environment, with the need for efficient P utilisation in typical phosphate-deplete conditions.

We propose two possible physiological roles for PhnD1. First, it could function in phospholipid recycling, working together with the predicted phospholipase, TesA, and alkaline phosphatase.

📢 New @ISMEJournal paper! We found 'Marine picocyanobacterial PhnD1 shows specificity for various phosphorus sources but likely represents a constitutive inorganic phosphate transporter'. Check it out 👉 nature.com/articles/s41396-0…

Naturally evolved genomes tend to be large and redundant. Can we minimise genomes for better biotechnological or research applications? Our latest review paper on genome minimisation is now published online.

We (@BRaTlab) found a new efflux pump, AdeG from the Drug:H+ antiporter 2 family circulating in plasmids of Acinetobacter. AdeG confers resistance to at least 8 diverse antimicrobials. @A_baumannii
