Great new study led by @SamuelBreselge : “Water kefir multi-omics reveals functional redundancies despite taxonomic differences and the underappreciated contribution of yeast" Tnx to Luiza Moreira Iwona Skibinska Xiaofei Yin Lorraine Brennan Kieran Kilcawley @DPorcellato

Congratulations to Dr Samuel Breselge who has won the APC Scientific Excellence - Postdoctoral Award #APCSymposium2025

PhD position open! 🌾🧫🧬✂️😃 Are you interested in plant pathology and genome editing? Have you ever seen how cool Xanthomonas manipulates the plant cell using TALEs? Don't hesitate to apply! uni-hannover.de/en/jobs/id/7851 (...we are in Hannover, Germany...)

Thanks to the persistence & deep literature study by @LaurenFCole @NUBioE1, we explored the regulation of vindoline biosynthesis & photomorphogenesis with the 2 following papers:

Compared to the lactic acid bacteria, the acetic acid bacteria are a relatively under appreciated component of many #fermented #foods. Here, AAB are the focus of an in-depth metagenomics-based analysis by Erkang Zhang with Niccolò Carlino @nsegata @SamuelBreselge & @ClaessonLab

Fantastic to see this comprehensive study of water kefir pangenomes, led by Samuel Breselge, now published “The core microbiomes and associated metabolic potential of water kefir as revealed by pan multi-omics". rdcu.be/ec7GT

For somebody working on the gut #microbiome, the responses ("gross", "embarrassment", "pseudoscience", etc.) to this @Nature article on the treatment of C-section babies with their mother’s poo are quite sobering. So, I thought I would provide a perspective in the thread below.

What is a healthy #microbiome, and is there such a thing?

water kefir and were able to isolate the predicted species in a targeted manner. It was a pleasure to work on this with Paolo Bellassi, @Coral_BC @MetaResistantB Lorenzo Morelli and @pauldcotter @Pharmabiotic @TeagascFood doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.…

Excited to share the identification and description of two novel Bifidobacterium species (B. fermentum and B. aquikefiricola), isolated from water kefir. We used shotgun metagenomics to predict the presence of two novel Bifidobacterium species (and several other novel species) in

It was an honor and great fun to present some of our fermented foods work ⁦@NDPIAprogramme⁩ #Microbiota and #Health course today in Sigtuna.

Fantastic output from @MASTER_IA_H2020 now published in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

APC researchers at @MASTER_IA_H2020 @TeagascFood are co-authors on an important @CellCellPress paper out today about analysis of the metagenomes of 2,533 foods to create the first open access database of the food microbiome Read Paper: bit.ly/3MmRyZg

Microbial insights into soil microbiomes require nuanced understanding of databases, Classifiers and thresholds. Our study link.springer.com/10.1186/s40793… captures these focal points and more.
