❓Can we predict ocean carbon cycling by looking at what microbes do rather than who they are?🌊
During his PhD in PriME, Ryan Reynolds explored this question by combining global metagenomic with metabolic modeling 😀

How did the very first cells power themselves? 🔬⚡This question sits at the heart of origin‑of‑life research. @kartiksaiyer explores how early microbial metabolism may hold the key to understanding how life began on Earth. asm.social/2U8
New manuscript: "Interplay of Spatial Structure and Interactions in Microbial Communities" is now published: …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…
We share our thoughts on how interactions and spatial organization are intertwined in a spatial context. We hope this initiates more discussions.
Microbe vs. microbe: a DNA‑releasing showdown. New #mBio study finds that #Streptococcus mitis uses targeted #bacteriocins to burst S. pneumoniae cells, releasing DNA and boosting gene exchange, revealing a surprising mechanism shaping bacterial evolution. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…
