I am very happy with this work, where we give a step forward in understanding how organohalide respiring bacteria grow while detoxify halogenated compounds! rdcu.be/dq2Q1 #organohalide #CryoEM #bioremediation @NatureComms @EPFL_en @itqbnova @LS4FUTURE @InsCardosoPere1

I was challenged to create a graphical abstract by hand portraiting my PhD project for a #SciComm course @itqbunl. Such a fun exercise to convert words into drawings to convey a message. pic.twitter.com/KM7dOX8tel

Checkout our posters at the #WorldMicrobeForum. @anaccbarbosa is presenting her work on Dissimilatory sulfate reduction, while I (@AmericoGDuarte) am focusing Geobacter energy metabolism. Join us at the poster session

Check out our recent review on a widespread and important group of membrane proteins for anaerobic respiration, including in sulfur microbes!🤩 authors.elsevier.com/c/1ctKk1Ckidsa…

Very happy to share our paper on #photocatalysis for H2 production with #biohybrids. Really cool to turn hydrogenase-full sulfur microbes into #hydrogen producing machines! @itqbunl @NOVAunl @H2ASE_NEWS @SulfurMicrobes
