Our last group photo at #Goldschmidt2023 Goldschmidt had a lot to offer!

Toosin presented “Biomacromolecules in Arctica islandica shells: molecular signatures of a bivalved Methuselah at micron and submicron scale” at #Goldschmidt2023

@TaruVerma7 presented remotely “ Sedimentary DNA can influence evolution: Establishing mineral facilitated horizontal gene transfer as a route to increased bacterial fitness” at #Goldschmidt2023

Starting the afternoon with the keynote talk by @KarinaKSand: “A geochemical perspective on DNA preservation in sediments: implications for ecological inference and bacterial evolution” at #Goldschmidt2023

@saghar_hendiani presented her poster titled “Importance of bacteria-mineral associations for biofilm development and gene transfer efficiency” at #Goldschmidt2023

Fundamentals of biofilm formation in soil: From functionalized self-assembled monolayers to rewilding bioRxiv by @saghar_hendiani et al from Karina Krarup Svenninggaard Sand with @metteburmolle @hurtigmad Bacillus subtilis and Acinetobacter baylyi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#PhD Position open in my group: Fundamentals of #eDNA preservation in sediments (#SedaDNA). Apply if you are interested in nano-level DNA dynamics in environmental settings. Experimental science #AFM @Carlsbergfondet @GeoBioLab kksand.com/post/phd-fello…

Great to be at the tour of “How microbes have shaped the evolution of life”. The talks started with their role at the dawn of time and took us all the way to the state-of-the-art of technology. Thank you @Globe_UCPH

@GeoBioLab principles ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@KarinaKSand presented her and Liselotte’s ideas for mineral facilitated propagation of antibiotics resistance genes: "Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment: The role of micro-environments and interfacial geochemistry for ARg-transfer dynamics"

@TaruVerma7 gave and oral presentations about the use of Raman for profiling ARg: “Profiling antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli strains displaying differential antibiotic susceptibilities using Raman spectroscopy”

@saghar_hendiani presented a poster on her work on biofilms on: “Biofilm formation gene expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa downregulates in response to sublethal antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation”

What a treat to be updated on current knowledge on #biofilm diagnostics, evolution, social interactions, adhesion and molecular mechanisms. Thanks to the organizers for a great meeting. we left with a lot of food for thoughts! #Danishbiofilmworkshop
