Herzlich Willkommen!
Jean-Baptiste Raina ist neuer Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für Marine Mikrobiologie in Bremen. Der Ökologe erforscht mit innovativen Methoden, wie Mikroorganismen auf kleinstem Raum zusammenarbeiten.
Und wir freuen uns sehr auf die Zusammenarbeit! 😊 🧬🔬

#Tiefseebergbau: Wie schützen wir den Meeresboden? Bislang gibt es keinen internationalen Konsens, ob und wie die #Manganknollen der #Tiefsee abgebaut werden sollen. Fest steht jedoch: Die ökologischen Folgen sind gravierend, die Kosten hoch. www.mpg.de/25745503/tie...
Diving through the purple sulfur bacteria layer of Fayetteville Green Lake with our ROV last month. This is the most intense density of PSB that I've seen in many years!

I had a #proud_supervisor moment at this year's @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social IMPRS graduate school retreat.
Our masters student Malene Duus won the prize for best poster with her great work on the genetics of symbiont cell shapes during a lab rotation of just 5 weeks! 🎉

I am really excited to see this article on basic experimental design principles published. Definitely will be mandatory reading for incoming graduate students in my lab. Maggie Wagner who led this article did an amazing job with the illustrations of basic principles www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Greatly enjoyed learning all about sea spiders and their methane-oxidizing symbionts while writing this commentary for a paper by Bianca Dal Bó, Vic Orphan, Shana Goffredi et al. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

It's another week. Another episode of #MattersMicrobial! Dr. John McCutcheon of Arizona State University discusses fascinating symbioses between insects & bacteria that shed light on endosymbiosis: how eukaryotic cells originated. Please spread the #GoodMicrobialWord!

🌍🧽 The Aquatic Symbiosis Project, @utehentschel.bsky.social and @sangerinstitute.bsky.social are cranking out high-quality genome assemblies at record speed—setting the stage to answer remarkable questions about marine symbioses. 🌊🧬

Excited to share our first paper on the symbiosis between chlamydiae and social amoebae showing in detail the adaptations of endosymbionts to the social life style of their host! 🎉
The scope of #fungi #biodiversity is only beginning to be fathomed.
Every day almost ten new species are described. 🍄🤯
David Hibbett László Nagy and Henrik Nilsson introduce the fungal tree of life. www.cell.com/current-biol...
Over 50 researchers from over 25 countries have made this possible. Almost 10 years of work. I have 23,062 emails on this project.
It is wonderful to see this published and I hope you enjoy it.
There’s a lot on genome evolution in ants and much much more.
We have a new 3-year postdoc position in our group at the @hifmb.de to study plasmids and plasmids systems of the marine environment to survey their utility in microbial responses to environmental change.
