🧵1/6 The second paper of my PhD is out now! Advanced access article here: doi.org/10.1093/ismejo… I’ll also be presenting these results at the ISME19 in Cape Town this week @MarineMicrobio @MolEcol_MPIMM

Vag­a­bonds and home­bod­ies: #Bacteria have neatly organized their housing space in the #seafloor: Some enjoy the bustle in the yummy porewater. Others stick to sand grains, living off the leftovers. mpi-bremen.de/en/Vagabonds-a… Out now @ISMEJournal doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

Interested in how sediment bacterial communities are structured and what they’re doing? Drop by my poster today and let’s chat about sediment bacterial niches, and the so-far under appreciated role of porewater (and loosely attached) bacteria in surface sediments 😃 #ISME19

6/6 If you're at ISME19 this week, I will be happy to hear your thoughts and talk about this more at my poster (PS3.15.036) at the marine microbial ecology afternoon poster session on Thursday!

5/6 We propose that cells in the porewater and those loosely attached to grains can easily access food and oxygen through the movement of water in the pore space. Firmly attached cells could be those occupying protected, yet diffusion-limited areas like cracks on the grain.

Had a fantastic time at the GRC Marine Microbes last week! Highly recommend this GRC as a great opportunity to meet fellow PhD students, early career scientists, and PIs at the forefront of marine microbiology. Also, the location and scenery were outstanding! 🏔️🐄🧀

The Isthmus of Panama separated them, now these lucinid symbionts live different lifes: @isimorel @benedict_yuen @M_helvetiae et al show the role of #HGT in bacterial #adaptation & impact of #nitrogen availability on ecological divergence @PLOS Genetics mpi-bremen.de/en/Small-but-s…

We are in Bremen at the It Ma(t)ter(s) conference between @MarineMicrobio and @mpi_marburg! We have had the pleasure to hear an opening keynote by @GretaReintjes, who started this conference in 2017. Looking forward to the 3 days of scientific exchange between the two institutes!

What a team!! 🤩 More than 60 #MaxPlanck-Runners went out there to represent our institute at the #B2Run #Bremen. A great group of enthusiastic, dedicated and fun people – so many thanks and congratulations to all of you! 😍🏃‍♀️🏃💪 @BiogeoMPIBremen @MolEcol_MPIMM @Habitat_MPI

Check out the Ellrott grab in action + some behind the scenes! Thanks for featuring our work on #MethodsMonday @aslo_org! @MarineMicrobio 🌊

cat is the most misused thing by programmers new to linux. I cringe every time someone uses it wrong in a bash script. Thread below with proper uses of cat only

Sharing our new manuscript in @ISMEJournal led by Dr @TessFHutchinson and @MBiogeochem. By tracking how the carbon in glucose is broken down in samples and isolates, she definitely shows fermentation dominates in sands, anaerobic respiration in muds. academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…

@FengqingWang Congratulations, Fengqing!! 🥳

I’m delighted to share our research paper has been published in Microbiome. I invite you to read it, which delves into bacterial community and function concerning polysaccharide utilization during a phytoplankton bloom, including both FL and PA fractions. microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
