New insight in effector biology🚨: Widespread Bradyrhizobium distribution of diverse Type III effectors that trigger legume nodulation in the absence of Nod factor. @AliciaCamuel, Eric Giraud, and co-authors. @PHIM_research @ird_fr @ISMEJournal @T3SS2 doi.org/10.1038/s41396… 🧵

Antibiotic-degrading resistance changes bacterial community structure via species-specific responses @ISMEJournal Super cool research from the Alex Hall lab @ETH with friends @Ayush_Pathak__ @dcangst and @RLeonSampedro

Woohoo my first publication as a PhD student is out 🥳 @ISMEJournal Want to know how the pesticides in our food and environment may be impacting our microbiota-gut-brain axis? Do we really know the risks of using pesticides? nature.com/articles/s4139…

Pesticide exposure and the microbiota-gut-brain axis - What do we know? PhD student Rie Matsuzaki and Senior Researcher @EoinGunnigle lead a review of the evidence as part of our EU @SprintH2020 project. Just out in @ISMEJournal A lot remains unknown.. nature.com/articles/s4139…

“Bacteria-phage coevolution with a seed bank” Led by @coevolving with @ShoeStrapped, @AndreeaMagalie, @joshuasweitz available @ISMEJournal 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4139…

The International Society for Microbial Ecology is excited to announce that The ISME Journal and ISME Communications will be published by Oxford University Press beginning in 2024. #ISME #OUP Read more on isme-microbes.org/new-publisher

I am thrilled to share the latest paper from my PhD out now @ISMEJournal: Phyllosphere symbiont promotes plant growth through ACC deaminase production nature.com/articles/s4139… We investigated the mechanics of growth promotion by a phyllosphere coloniser. A 🧵 ⬇️ 1 / n

Distinct bacterial population dynamics and disease dissemination after biofilm dispersal and disassembly -in @ISMEJournal #Pseudomonasaeruginosa #flowcellbiofilm nature.com/articles/s4139…

New paper out at @ISMEJournal with the amazing @Alegarritano @lilly_hill @barbribeiro09 @DamascenoTaissa @Gustavo_Duarte @carenvilela @modolon_fs M.Maizoub and T.Thomas. Distinct symbiotic relationships in deep-sea sponges. nature.com/articles/s4139…

Are you interested in getting more involved and engaged with our community? Would you like to become an editorial member of ISME communications? Here is your chance! surveymonkey.com/r/S3JGXJQ @ISMEComms @ISMEJournal

Permafrost is different from other soils. Microbes survive at sub-zero temps for millennia. What controls the microbial biogeography and distribution of genes ? What are the strongest selective pressures shaping communities? Read our paper in @ISMEJournal nature.com/articles/s4139…

New in @ISMEJournal elucidating the role of transduction in resistance spread: Lysogenic bacteriophages encoding arsenic resistance determinants promote bacterial community adaptation to arsenic toxicity by Xiang Tang et al. (incl. @Christo92980592) nature.com/articles/s4139…

Our paper about metagenomic-based virus vs cell quantification is out in @ISMEJournal. Great collaboration with @mkrupovic & @frovalera. The famous idea “>one order of magnitude more abundant than cells” holds for DNA viruses only in very few habitats rdcu.be/dbUY2

Protozoa can be 🔺50% of the microbial biomass in the rumen and have big influence on digestion and H2 production (leading to methane). BUT they are HARD to study, especially in vivo! @andersen__thea adds her PhD piece to the puzzle in @ISMEJournal nature.com/articles/s4139…… 1/6

Last year, we published a paper on how the fungal microbiome is linked to a threefold variation in tree growth rates across Europe. We're happy to see that it's won @ISMEJournal's 2022 Best Paper Award! 🎉 Congrats to all authors & the other winners 👏 nature.com/collections/ae…
