🚨 Postdoctoral Opportunity for Female Scientists🚨 The University of Vienna is awarding at least 20 fully funded 4 year postdoctoral positions to outstanding female scientists Interested? Get in touch via direct message careers.univie.ac.at/en/postdoc/e... #MicroSky 🧪 #PostDoc @univie.ac.at

Check out this awesome resource for all your future microbial #genome analyses: #GlobDB is the to date most complete genome database available! Developed by @daanspeth.bsky.social and colleagues 🧪🦠🧬🖥️

Interested in #nitrification? Check-out this new paper driven by the #MichaelPester group focussing on nitrification-driven chemolithoautotrophy in oligotrophic lake hypolimnia. Freshwater AOA contribute only a minor part to dark DIC fixation in these systems. academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

Fresh from our group, a new role for oxygen production in ammonia-oxidizing archaea: Oxygen production as an electron overflow pathway in ammonia-oxidizing archaea Congrats to Thomas Pribasnig for this great work! Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#Urea: The Hidden Fuel for Ocean Microbes 🦠🌊 Study in @natcomms.nature.com shows how #ammonia-oxidizing #archaea thrive in nutrient-poor waters: Urea is a major energy source for #AOA in the open #ocean, while coastal AOA prefer #ammonium. www.mpi-bremen.de/en/Urea-The-...

🧪🦠🌊 Curious on #niche differentiation of marine #AOA #Nitrosopumilus and #Nitrosopelagicus? #Urea is (part of) the answer! Very happy this fun study led by @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social is out: shorturl.at/wajjh Big shout out to Joerdis and Hannah for pushing this over the finish line!

New preprint from our team! Experimental evidence that ammonia-oxidizing archaea in sponges use branched chain amino acids as substrates - possibly also key for host interaction #Nitrification #MicroSky 🧪 #ArchaeaSky @bglasl.bsky.social @kathikitzinger.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Who fixes carbon in the dark ocean? A new study in @nature.com, led by @barbarabayer.bsky.social @univie.ac.at shows that ammonia‐oxidizing microbes contribute much less to dark carbon fixation than previously thought – leaving room for unknown players.
