Note. The var­i­ous links in this older post may no longer work.

The Mi­cro­bial Com­rades present the old­est os­teosyn­the­sis in his­tory, and how a small mol­e­cule pro­duced by stressed bac­te­ria is a warn­ing sig­nal that re­pels healthy pop­u­la­tions to pro­mote their sur­vival.

Hosts: Vin­cent Racaniello, Michael Schmidt, Michele Swan­son and Elio Schaechter.
