Our latest review is now live! Check out our thoughts on how the filamentous lifestyle of Actinomycetes and their ability to make a diverse array of natural products may be connected 👇: annualreviews.org/content/jo…
Huge congrats to the newly minted Dr. Luis Cantu Morin (aka @s_coelicolor) for graduating and for an incredible finishing talk!!

Our recent work on Actinobacterial G protein systems is live on bioRxiv! These regulatory systems are conserved in Actinomycetota and are involved in secondary metabolism, phage defense, and cellular development. Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Excited to see research uncovering a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides in Actinos. Including systems related to our work on Cvn8 in Streptomyces! Great work of @MDMlab_Paris and @HelenaShomar

🚨Super excited to share our pre-print describing how we used genomics to discover a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides from Actinobacteria 🦠
This marks a significant expansion in the number of bacterial natural products involved in chemical defense.

🌟Congrats to our own Dr. Monika on joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as Assistant Professor! 💪 We are incredibly excited for the launch of the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab this fall. Best of luck, @MonikaSFischer! You've made our team proud! 🔥🍄 #TeamSuccess #UBC #FireFungiLab
Thrilled to announce that I will be joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as an Assistant Professor very soon! Stay tuned for updates from the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab, opening this fall in beautiful, fungiful, Vancouver, BC! 🔥🍄🔥
Exploring the world of Sensory Transduction in microorganisms at #GRCSTIM2024 in Ventura, California! 🌐 Here's a snapshot of our brilliant team, soaking in knowledge and forging scientific connections. 🔬 #TeamScience #ResearchCommunity #LabLife #ScienceConference

Thrilled to announce that Matt will be giving his tenure talk at the @PMB_Berkeley seminar this Wednesday @ noon (PT)! Join us in person or on Zoom! – at Berkeley, CA
TraxLab @ #ISME18 !! Don’t miss @NeemJPatel’s poster (# 491) tomorrow, and @MonikaSFischer’s poster (# 056) on Thursday! – at Lausanne, Switzerland
Yoon Min sharing his stellar Streptomyces genetics work in our lab with this awesome poster at the @PMB_Berkeley Undergrad Summer Poster Session! Congrats to all who presented!
Welcome Kilian!! Thrilled to welcome you to our group and excited for all the great work we’ll do together!
It is now my pleasure to officially announce the start of my Postdoctoral research in the @TraxLab to work on the peculiar physiology of S. coelicolor.
From antibiotics to antibiotics, I will continue to work on bacteria !!

Using competition, we found that Couchioplanes bacteria make a family of new antibiotics called dynaplanins! These small molecules act as metabolic inhibitors. Check out our latest publication by @DynaCockusRose to learn more:

Congrats, Dr. Dyna!!!
Got a bedazzled pipette from @TraxLab for graduation and OMG I’m OBSESSED 😍🥰👩🏼🔬 thank you so much!! #STEMqueen

Thrilled to share this @nytimes article by @ellieshechet highlighting some of our recently published work!
What an honor to be featured in the @nytimes!!! SO EXCITED to share this terrific article by @ellieshechet about my latest paper (shout out to my co-authors: @TheaWhitman @TraxLab @Grace_Stark_ Tim Berry and Nayela Zeba)!

Interactions with other bacteria can cause Streptomyces coelicolor to turn on antibiotic production. How do they do that? It turns out they use an unusual regulatory system called a conservon. Check out @BaileyBonet's latest publication to learn more! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
If you're attending the World Microbe Forum 2021, check out a talk by one of our graduate students @DynaCockusRose who's sharing how they combine #SciComm with drag! Available on-demand on June 24! abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/9…
Our work on antibiotics in beetle galleries has been featured on Berkeley News! Check out the article at news.berkeley.edu/2021/05/26… for the story behind the story. Check out the original publication at elifesciences.org/articles/6…! #ScienceTwitter #microbes #antibiotics
Thank you, Vineetha @ActinoArtist, for your many years with us at the Traxler Lab! Vineetha was a founding member of our lab as a postdoctoral researcher. In our lab, she worked on multicellularity in actinomycete colonies. She's now at Zymergen, and we wish her the best of luck!
Streptomyces make beautiful and complex patterns of development and pigmentation as they grow. Check out our latest publication in mBio, with Vineetha Zacharia @ActinoArtist as the first author, to find out how they do that! mbio.asm.org/content/12/3/e0…

Guess what? Beetle nests all over eastern North America have antibiotics in them! Read about it in our latest eLife publication, with @Rita_Pessotti as the lead author! elifesciences.org/articles/6…
