The latest instalment in our journey to create mosquitoes with designer microbiomes!! 🦟🦠🧪
“A cryopreservation method to recover laboratory- and field-derived bacterial communities from mosquito larval habitats”
Great work @szymbiosis & @Mosmicrobes!

We took microbiomes from different 🦟species from the lab/field and transplanted into Ae. aegypti -> they responded similarly when the 🦠🦠were from lab donors -regardless of 🦟species, but far more changes to gene expression when using a field donor -pretty cool I reckon😀

When we swap their microbiomes, what do the mosquitoes actually think about that?? Take a look at our new preprint; congratulations @Shiva_hegde @laura_brettell @SQuek_001 Miguel Saldaña @EtebariK @SassanAsgari @MosMicrobes @mosquitomicrobe biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Next up: recruiting some awesome people so I'm not the only one on the lab members page 😂

My very first paper is officially published! 😁 Big thanks to @markjmandel and @MicroKLV for their guidance and making this possible.
Mark Mandel@markjmandel
Congratulations to @RuthlessRuth15, David Christensen, and @MicroKLV on publication of this work @mbiojournal. Out now at journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…! If you're at #Phages2022 Ruth will present it tomorrow at poster 188.

It’s a happy (and sunny) day here in Madison! Huge congrats to @NicholsHollyL for passing her prelims with flying colors!!!
English
Huge congrats to all of the new fellows and advisers! Can’t wait to be reunited with @aldoaarellano after his internship @dermbiont this summer. Give your students the space to explore career options, folks. It’ll only make all the science better!

.@BenMicrobesMtg #BeneficialMicrobesMtg looking for a postdoc interested in discovering and culturing creosote-degrading microbes from woodrats. Email me if you are interested in this cool project. 🐭🦠

@Juul @mosquitomicrobe Our results support the latter statement, as our cryopreservation conditions had very little impact on recovery of bacteria, even from the field!
English
@Juul @mosquitomicrobe DMSO doesn't play nice with mosquito larvae and trial and error with individual isolates suggested that 20% glycerol would be sufficient to preserve most bacteria from mosquito environments.

What better way to celebrate the close of the @BenMicrobesMtg this week than to share our new paper?… "Cryopreservation of mosquito microbiota for use in microcosm experiments"

Our latest step towards establishing a field microbiome in the lab. Here we show that cryopreserved microbiomes from mosquito larval habitats can be stored and reconstituted in the lab. The resulting microbiomes are remarkable consistent too👍 Nice work @MosMicrobes & @szymbiosis

The sky’s the limit…and we’re working hard to continue to optimize these approaches, especially for field-derived microbiota. Stay tuned for more from us and our incredible colleagues @NicholsHollyL Miguel Medina Munoz @EvaHeinz7 @laura_brettell @vectorvish

The same approach could also be used to cryopreserve microbiota for transplantation into different life stages or host species, à la:
