My week in - I was also looking after a poorly toddler and then got taken out myself.

Should I finish the other 2 talks (microbial pinball and flagellatropic phage) or leave my copper colour theme behind?

The skeleton alone is not enough, we need a combination of muscle and bones especially to better understand movement. Understanding the chemosensory arrays in bacteria require a similar combination of cryo-TEM imaging and protein structure fitting!

My final piece from covering 's talk about co-evolution of chemotaxis systems and flagella. Here we see Davi's Firefighter Model of evolution.

based on Emma Brock's talk covering exciting imaging techniques to observe Bdellovibrio motility.

Last day of And with it comes its last This one on the talk of Emma Brock that works on Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, which could be used as antibacterial agent instead of using antibiotics. She told us on how Bdellovibrio use motility to hunt bacteria..

The first talk at today was by who talked about evolutionarily driven domain swapping and how this changes the expression of genes.

A tuneable generalised unpicked by . The openness of the RssB adaptor protein determines differential access of the regulators and anti-adaptor proteins to ClpX-mediated

This piece is based on Alexandra Deaconescu her talk about the general stress response. DNA stress activates IraD, which causes RssB to undergo a conformational change from an open to closed conformation. This change is possible because of the highly flexible linker.

My 3rd of the day is on my favorite subject “Stress Response”! This one is based on Dr. Alexandra Deaconescu talk at

Lindsey O'Neal Yoder gave a great talk today at on deciphering the role of the Wsp signal transduction pathway in surface sensing using Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

David Hershey told us about his exciting Caulobacter flagellar mutants. I especially loved his 'doink' model. Can we give every model a name like this?

16 45

A great talk by Arden Perkins on a unifying sensing mechanism for CZB protein domains at . The benefits of a multi-faceted approach in understanding how zinc binding domains in chemoreceptors sense oxidants.

Todays at is based on Arden Perkins his talk about how CZB domains help Helicobacter pylori recognize HOCl - bleach!

Super excited to be one of the at drawing about the conference talks! Here is my first about “Hardware & Software” in bacterial chemotaxis by Dr. Katja Taute.

This is the first day of and we had great talks! I am very excited to be among the team of present.

Here's my first about the Keynote speaker Howard Berg. It was great to hear him talk about the history of bacterial chemotaxis and motility.

Here’s my first for based on Birgit Scharf her talk about bacteria-plant interactions.
