New papers!!
Exciting news! We have two new articles! Our hope is that these articles will inspire more research on bacterial cell electrophysiology.
"The Microbiologist's guide to bacterial membrane potential dynamics"
Our review on bacterial membrane potential dynamics is now online in Trends in Microbiology! In this article, we reviewed functional roles of bacterial membrane potential and discussed the need of further theoretical and experimental investigation.

"Rapid detection of proliferative bacteria by electrical stmulation"
Our protocol paper is also in press in bio-protocol! In this article, we provided a detailed protocol for the experiments we reported in PNAS (Startford et al, 2019). We proposed using this technique for rapid AST.
To describe the procedure, we got an inspiration from IKEA's graphic instruction:) (Great job, Conor!) Our hope is that this can be printed like a poster.
