Join us for a PhD study in Microbial Chemical Ecology!  Are you passionate about exploring the hidden chemical language of soil microbes? We are offering a PhD scholarship to dive into secondary-metabolite-based regulatory networks in rhizobiomes! efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Cool story by @LarsBehrendt4 @alco_a and colleagues in @ScienceMagazine with Benjamin Van Mooy, @theStockerLab, @JoeJHarrison1 Microbial dietary preference and interactions affect the export of lipids to the deep ocean science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#weekendreading 📖👇 Microbial dietary preference and interactions affect the export of lipids to the deep ocean @ScienceMagazine @LarsBehrendt4 @alco_a @JoeJHarrison1 @theStockerLab science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Stoked to see this work published in final format, most importantly because this is a large chunk of @JamyMahwash PhD who was my first student. She has developed and carried out this project like a rock star. nature.com/articles/s4155…

What a great method and paper! Huge congrats!!!! Happy to have @pacherres_co onboard @MicroSensing to do more #sensPIV on corals etc and to explore further applications and developments with the inventors @SoerenAhm @klaus_koren @LarsBehrendt4

A new method to simultaneously measure fluid flows and oxygen landscapes. cell.com/cell-reports-m… @CellRepMethods @SciMelb @LarsBehrendt4 @klaus_koren @farooqmoin_ @SoerenAhm

So great to see @scilifelab moving towards a stronger anchor in evolution, ecology, and more. And especially important to recognise that most life is microbial, including eukaryotes. Exciting!

Excited to share our latest research, now published in the ISME J nature.com/articles/s4139… 'Photophysiological response of Symbiodiniaceae single cells to temperature stress' This work would not have been possible without Linhong Xiao , @fburki , @mariatenje and many others

Structural chemistry meets biology in a new review of the potential functional roles of patellamides in the ascidian-Prochloron symbiosis. mdpi.com/1660-3397/20/2… Nice collaboration with Peter Comba's group, @LarsBehrendt4 & @MicroSensing

"Frustule photonics and light harvesting strategies in diatoms" New review book chapter with @johannes_wg onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

A paper in Nature reports the discovery of a N2-fixing symbiont in seagrass, which enables highly productive seagrass meadows to thrive in the nitrogen-limited Mediterranean Sea. go.nature.com/3EJzvGP

Wrote this. A great exercise to try to summarise advances on #protists diversity and ecology realised by #metabarcoding. Thanks @CurrentBiology for inviting us to contribute to this special issue on biodiversity, a timely publication @UNBiodiversity #COP15 cell.com/current-biolog…

My colleague Rachel Foster and I want to share this amazing video archive for teaching aquatic microbial ecology. It features great scientists and their research with very pedagogic explanations. I hope you find it useful! youtube.com/watch?v=htLiaa… @deepsthlmuni Please RT

We deposited this preprint showing that the plastid-lacking Picozoa, from the uncultured majority of eukaryotic microbes, are related to red algae. We discuss the implications of this finding for plastid origin. Picozoa are archaeplastids without plastid biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is the molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution, well our estimate anyway 😉 With @jfh_strassert @IkerIrisarri @tweethinking nature.com/articles/s4146…

Proud to be co-author on a fantastic paper lead by Francesco Carrara (ETH Zurich) and Anupam Sengupta (University of Luxembourg). If you are interested in the effects of ocean turbulence on microalgae go check it out: pnas.org/content/118/5/…

Excited to be co-author on this excellent piece of work, spearheaded by Kang Soo Lee @ ETH doi.org/10.1038/s41596…

I want to share our work on the characterization of autotrophic dissolved organic matter (DOM) produced by Microcystis aeruginosa. L&O @aslo_org (by C. Patriarca @vicmansn @Stebe69 @_JeffHawkes) 1/3 doi.org/10.1002/lno.11…

I want to share our work on Cooperation Models for aquatic streamlined bacteria. We combined ecological theories of coexistence with phylogenetic information to produce a simplified model @mSystemsJ by (@RMondav @Stebe69 @MetaMoritz @silan182) 1/n msystems.asm.org/content/5/5/e0…
