Microbial Art. These artworks were created using living microbes growing on agar. Agar is a gelatin-like substance that serves as food for the microorganisms. Theses are the winners of the 4th annual Agar Art contest. Credit: The American Society for Microbiology

New antibiotic found, only produced when two species are co-cultured. Slava Epstein was right, we have to rethink the idea that there are no more antibiotics to find, and instead change the way we search for them. teapawt.net/currie_lab/status/9290…
Our new collaborative paper with the Bugni lab is out! Co-culture experiments helped us to find keyicin, a novel compound that selects agains Gram-positive bacteria. @wildtypeMC @ChemicalBiology pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…
