To anyone keen on hashtag #microbial metabolic interactions, I have opened a Topical Collection with JoVE on “Methods and Applications for the Prediction and Verification of Metabolic Complementarity in Microbial Communities”: tiny.cc/ui5w001

🧪If you are interested in #microbial growth data, you may have have a look at μGrowthDB; an open repository designed to store, visualize, analyze & share quantitative measurements of species abundances and metabolite profiles from monocultures & communities of known composition. #microsky #mevosky

#MicrobiologyMonday: Pseudomonas aeruginosa releases a surfactant that displaces Klebsiella pneumoniae from solid surfaces. By pushing K. pneumoniae away, the detergent allows P. aeruginosa to better compete for limited iron. Learn more in #mBio: asm.social/2sH

our software, microbetag, for the annotation of microbial co-occurrence networks with phenotypic traits & metabolic complementarities was just published A Cytoscape app is also available to make your life easier (and prettier) #microbiome #metabolic-modeling #networks

First day of July brings us the Summer 2025 edition of our open-access textbook! Join Piglette in stargazing and exploring newest additions to our book principlescellphysiology.org/book-economi...

Hi #microbiome community. If you are interested in microbial networks, feel free to have a look and register in our summer school! Two days with talks and hands-on on how to annotate your networks and come up with testable hypotheses. 24 and 25 Sep 2025, Leuven , Belgium @3domics.bsky.social

If you're new in #metabolic #modelling or just interested, we had a workshop last week and here is a set of notebooks we wrote. Among other things, we discussed our recently published gapfiller, DNNGIOR and the dingo flux sampling Python library we built with the GeomScale group! #microbiome #flux

If you're interested in microbial co-occurrence networks and how to make sense out of them, feel free to join my seminar at @microbiomevif.bsky.social on microbetag; a recently developed software of ours! #microbiome #networks

Here's our new tool for annotating microbial co-occurrence networks with phenotypic traits & potential metabolic complementarities. Cytoscape App apps.cytoscape.org/apps/mgg Documentation hariszaf.github.io/microbetag/ bioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2024... #microbiome #microbiology #metagenomics

Did we set fire to the rain? 🔥 Well, not exactly, but we did set it to the water. Or technically, to our artificial oil spill! 🛢️ Was there smoke on the water? 💨 Yes, there was! Is this the first publication of, quite a few, more to come? Indeed! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... 🧬🖥️🧪🦠🌊

Exciting news! 🎉 My article is out in iScience presenting DNNGIOR, a deep learning tool advancing gap-filling in metabolic models. Huge thanks to co-authors @cmelkonian.bsky.social, @hariszaf.bsky.social, Daniel Garza, Andreas Haas and @bedutilh.bsky.social. Read at shorturl.at/REOm8

Love this idea for helping the community make the transition to Bluesky, so I’ve compiled a woefully incomplete list of microbial ecologists and -omics peeps I know are here. Please make suggestions and share. Let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/TQpaTqF

Excited to share: The inaugural Alma Dal Co School on Collective Behavior is coming to Venice (Sep 29-Oct 4, 2025). This unique school honors Alma (1989-2022), whose brilliant work bridging physics and microbiology revealed how metabolic interactions structure microbial communities. 1/12
