New preprint out! We investigate combining geochemistry, lipidomics and metagenomics a deep-sea biofilm with a reduced microbial community and dominated by ANME-1b at the Ginsburg Mud Volcano. Find out more here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Glad to see this new opinion paper published. @alejandrorgijon.bsky.social and I write about the implications of the work from @delafuentelab.bsky.social on the use of deep-learning models to discover new antimicrobials in the archaeal proteome: from the ecology to the human health.

I am really happy to share that I have been awarded by the Spanish national network “Conexión Microbioma” to support a new collaboration between our lab (@gecko1990.bsky.social) with @josepramoneda.bsky.social at the CEAB-CSIC (@ceabcsic.bsky.social).

Coming back from the XIX REDEX celebrated in Huelva! It was a great time to present the research that we do in the lab from resistome in wastewater to natural microbial communities. We could also talk with colleagues and friends about future projects and even visit Rio Tinto!

I am glad to share our newest preprint "A 16S rRNA dataset of Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park" preprints.arphahub.com/articles.php... via @preprints.arphahub.com with @gecko1990.bsky.social, @themlab.bsky.social, @vicloma1.bsky.social and Salvador Sánchez-Carrillo.

Last week the lab participated at @same18-bcn.bsky.social, the Symposium of Aquatic Microbial Ecology in Barcelona. It was a great week full of scientific exchange! We presented our last results in different topics from anaerobic oxidation of methane to the resistome of aquatic habitats🦠🔬🌊

Glad to share my research at the @same18-bcn.bsky.social

Yesterday we participated in the #europeanresearchersnight at the @mncn-csic.bsky.social Children learnt about microbial diversity and how to use antibiotics, and we learnt about how big their curiosity is. A win-win situation 🦠🔬

Happy to see this published showing the power of cultivation and lab work to shed light on key microorganisms for the methane cycle!

Excited to highlight our News & Views on the article by Torres et al. from @delafuentelab.bsky.social team 🚀 Archaea could help to discover new antibiotics! Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New post talking about archaeal-bacterial syntrophy, methane and two inspiring scientists who chose cooperation over rivalry🦠🙌

For ANME enthusiasts & for those who wonder how a methanogen turns into a methanotroph 👇New work by Orphanlab Identification of key steps in the evolution of anaerobic methanotrophy in Candidatus Methanovorans (ANME-3) archaea www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @caltech.edu @mblscience.bsky.social

New paper alert! 🚨Finally, we publish the research on the nitrogen cycle of a unique Arctic dataset. We have over 13 metagenomes and 7 metatranscriptomes from March until July 2014 from the Dease Strait in the Canadian Arctic. They show how the microbial community changes from winter to summer.

El 20 de mayo estaré por La Botillería hablando de arqueas =)

¿Te interesan los microorganismos que habitan en los ríos? Ofrezco una #JAE_Intro para caracterizar la resistencia a antibióticos y diversidad procariota en las aguas del río Manzanares durante 7 meses en el @mncn-csic.bsky.social junto con @alejandrorgijon.bsky.social. DM para más información
